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".

Autumn Foliage

I feel like I'm surrounded by autumn leaves right now - making a card using them seemed totally appropriate after spending yesterday raking up lots of them (and there are more to fall off the trees so it's not over yet!).


I love the old SU set, French Foliage!  I inked up the leaves with different colours of my mini Distress inks, then spritzed lightly before stamping.  I did the sentiment in dark brown and used Antique Linen for the splats.  I popped it up on fun foam for some dimension.  And off it goes to the Addicted to CAS Foliage challenge.


Thanks for stopping by!





Supplies:
Stamps - SU French Foliage, unknown sentiment
Ink - various mini Distress inks
Paper - cream cs, watercolour paper
Size - A2
Accessories - fun foam

    Beautiful leaves, Susan! The colors are so vivid! The splattering adds extra texture to the watercolor paper and I love the sentiment!

    LOVE the bright colours of your autumn leaves Susan! Gorgeous ... just like we see on the trees right now. Raking is the down side. :) Lovely design with your beautiful sentiment and splats. xx
