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".

Watercoloured with Markers

For the September CAS Mix Up challenge:



I put a Penny Black stamp into my MISTI, inked up with Distress markers and spritzed lightly, repeating till I was happy.  When it was dry, I stamped the sentiment with one of the matching inks, and then with Antique Linen, sponged the edges softly.

I popped the panel up on fun foam on a green card base, and added green twine to the right side.

For CAS Mix Up, it has stamping with an ink pad, stamping with markers, sponging, and twine.





Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black Effulgence, Rosie's Roadshow sentiment
Ink - Distress Peeled Paint and Antique Linen
Paper - hot press watercolour paper, Bazzill green linen cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Distress markers (Peeled Paint, Squeezed Lemonade, and Wild Honey), fun foam, green twine

    I love this card, Susan!
    You did a fantastic job with the inking with markers technique! The blend of the inks is so beautiful and the vertical design is well coordinated. The matching color green twine is the perfect finishing touch.
