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".

Black, White, and Red

Less is More's Color Challenge really appeals to me:


I love adding one bright colour to black and white.  For this card, I chose red.


I stamped and heat embossed the image (it's a negative image) in black on coated cs. Then I lightly sprinkled red brushos over it and spritzed with water.

I die cut with an oval, and put fun foam on the back of it. Then inlaid that in a black oval frame and added it to a die cut stitched rectangle that I splattered with a bit of black ink. It's popped up on fun foam.

It's for a friend who loves red and black together.





Supplies:
Stamps - Carabelle "Background Papillons"
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - coated cs, white and black cs
Size - A2
Accessories - red brushos, clear embossing powder, Spellbinders oval dies, Lil Inkers stitched rectangle die, fun foam

  4. So beautiful, Susan! The red really pops with the black and white background. The perfect stamp for adding brushos to the positive parts of the image. I have a stamp like that and haven't figured out how to use it ... now I know! Thank you! xx
