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".

Dog Feeling Poorly

A card for the Less is More "Pets" challenge.

Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black dog, Tim Holtz sentiment
Ink - Ranger Archival Jet Black
Paper - mixed media cs, black and kraft cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Gansai Tambi watercolours, Lil Inker stitched rectangle, fun foam

    I love these images of yours involving dogs and love that they are similar to your own beloved pets. He's just adorable. Love the neutral colors and soft wash in the background.
