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".

White Snow, White Trees

The April challenge at Christmas Cards All Year Round is to use all white.

And SCS's Inspiration Challenge sent us to the Carlyle Avenue website.  I found these white trees for inspiration:


I had the perfect set of evergreen tree dies in various sizes to use to create this card:


I die cut 5 trees, stacking some of them 3 layers high and some just 2 layers. I added them to a dry embossed background with a small sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!





Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black sentiment
Ink - Distress Oxide Hickory Smoke
Paper - white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Memory Box Evergreen Trees dies, SU embossing folder

  2. Beautiful Susan. Love the white on white design. The snow adds lots of dimension in the background. Great idea to stack the trees in different amounts. xx

  3. I love this, Susan! This is another one I'd like to try since I have never successfully done an all white card. I love how you stacked some trees more than others giving the illusion of distance. This is beautifully done!

  9. I love this white on white evergreen tree card, Susan! It looks so elegant. The die-cut tees (with different number of layers) and the dry embossed snowfall add great texture and dimension to the white background. Hideko xx
