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".

Is Tobogganing a Sport?

The new Paper Players challenge is "Sports".


Since I need to make lots of Christmas cards, I went with a winter sport - tobogganing.  Got my card made, and then found myself wondering if tobogganing is actually a sport - too late now if it's not, the card is made and here to be posted.


A quick card to make - stamped, watercoloured, trimmed with a stitched rectangle, and bordered with red and green to match the bears' scarves.






Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black Arctic Antics
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - watercolour paper; red, green, and cream cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Gansai Tambi watercolour paints, Lil Inkers stitched rectangle die

    Such a fun CAS card and if Tobogganing isn't a sport then it should be! x.

    Adorable card in festive Christmas colours. According to Mr. Google, ‘tobogganing is the sport of sliding down snow-covered slopes and artificial-ice-covered chutes on a runnerless sled called a toboggan’... so you nailed the challenge. 👍

    This is such an adorable image and love the festive framing of it. If bob sledding is an Olympic sport than so is tobogganing! I'd definitely say it fits the challenge perfectly!
