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".

Snowflakes on a Sketch

I'm not usually a fan of sketch challenges but the latest Less is More sparked an idea in me so I went with it.


I saw snowflakes when I saw the sketch so used a variety of sizes of snowflake dies with SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter cs.


The background is navy cs sprayed with a white Lindy's Stamp Gang spray.  Most of it got absorbed into the cs but a faint splatter shows.

Here's a close-up:


One more for the Christmas card fundraiser!





Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black sentiment
Ink - Ranger Archival Cobalt
Paper - white and navy cs, SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Lindy's Stamp Gang Frozen Jack Frost spray, various snowflake dies, label die, fun foam

    I would have never thought to even try and spray a navy background but love the snowy look you achieved. Great card for that sketch!
