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".

Gold Nativity

The current Less is More challenge is a colour challenge:

I chose gold as my metallic colour:



A very CAS card - image and sentiment stamped and heat embossed, bordered in matching gold cs, and using an ivory cs for image and base - love ivory and gold together!  Less is definitely more in this case as I love the simplicity of it!





Supplies:
Stamps - Stampendous
Ink - ColorBox gold
Paper - Gina K Pure Ivory cs, gold shimmer cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Ranger gold detail embossing powder

    I must agree with you about cream and gold, so very elegant. This is such a perfect focal, Susan. The framing was just enough especially since you matched your embossing powder. Beautiful card.
