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".

Gorgeous Greens

Two cards for some colour challenges.  First up, this one:


I put the "Berry Branch" stamp in my MISTI and inked it up with different green mini Distress inks, spritzed lightly and stamped onto mixed media cs, repeating till I was happy with it.  I trimmed the panel and added it to a green cardbase.   Some of my inking and spritzing made a blob in the middle so I covered that with my stamped and heat embossed sentiment.  I added rhinestone stickers to the berries (the berries are on the mistletoe branches so needed to be white - no berries on the holly branch).

It's going off to two challenges that must have St. Patricks Day in mind:

The Male Room - Gorgeous Greens




Krafty Chicks - Shades of Green

And since one of the branches is mistletoe, it's heading off to this challenge as well:

Christmas Cards All Year Round - Under the Mistletoe






Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black "A Berry Branch", SU sentiment
Ink - Distress Pine Needles and Bundled Sage, Versamark
Paper - green and mixed media cs
Size - 6x4.25"
Accessories - Sizzix label die, Platinum embossing powder, Recollections Rhinestone Stickers, foam tape

    Love how you've used both kinds of greenery on this card! The sentiment is perfect and I wouldn't have know it was covering an oops! Great save!
