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".

Poinsettia Frame

For Christmas Cards All Year Round, the challenge is to use flowers.  I made this card:


I stamped the poinsettia / frame image with the sentiment in the middle of it. I then coloured the poinsettias and pine cones with Copics, and went over the pine needles with a green metallic gel pen, and filled in the outer narrow frame and the inner narrow oval frame with a silver gel pen. I bordered it with green shimmer cs and mounted it on a white card base.

I have a few friends who ask me to do quite religious Christmas cards for them to buy at my fundraiser so this is a good design for them.

Thanks for dropping by!





Supplies:
Stamps - Gina K Festive Frame image and sentiment
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper - green shimmer and white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Copics, silver gel pen, green metallic gel pen, gold and clear gemstones
