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".

Monochromatic Sky with Winter Trees

There's still a bit of lingering snow so it's easy to make Christmas cards!


I pulled out a leftover snippet of shaving foam marbled background and used it as a wonderful monochromatic winter sky for my trees.  They are die cut from a snippet of white cs, as is the sentiment tag that I stamped in a dark aqua ink.  The panel with the trees is popped up on fun foam.  I went over the trees with a Quickie glue pen and added glitter to them.

Playing in three challenges with this card:

The Paper Players - Monochromatic


And 52 Christmas Card Throwdown - Winter Trees


And Pixie's Snippets Playground, where you have to use up snippets of paper, ribbon, etc. - I always have plenty of those leftover!





Supplies:
Stamps - A Muse sentiment
Ink - dark aqua ink spot (unknown brand)
Paper - white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - stitched tree frame (unknown), fun foam

  8. Hi Susan!

    What a delightful Christmas card. The background is wonderful and I adore those framed trees. Trying to work out if it's a single die or the trees and frame are separate - a cracking design.

    Hugs
