A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Pink and Red Tulips

I came across a challenge I hadn't seen before - the Color Throwdown.


I need to build up my stash of thank you cards so thought I'd use these colours for a spring thank you.


I stamped on watercolour paper with archival ink, then watercoloured with my Inktense watercolour pencils - pink and red tulips with a grey background.

I popped it up on fun foam and added it to an embossed panel.

Now back to watching some more Winter Olympics!!





Supplies:
Stamps - Stamplorations Framed Tulips, Savvy Stamps sentiment
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - white cs, watercolour paper
Size - A2
Accessories - SU embossing folding, Inktense watercolour pencils, fun foam

    I love the way you painted this, Susan, so striking. The pale gray in the background is perfect too. I never have the nerve to water color my backgrounds but love the way it looks. Beautiful!
