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".

Take 3 Vintage Santas

Less is More has a fun challenge right now:


They want something where you have three of an item.  I chose to go with three inchies of vintage Santas:


I stamped them and the sentiment with a brown ink on Vintage Cream cs, bordered with a piece of homemade red paper from my stash, and mounted on the same cream cs. I made it a long narrow card as it suited the three images in a row.

I'm also entering it the Sparkles Christmas Challenge where "Vintage" is the theme for March.






Supplies:
Stamps - Darkroom Door Christmas Inchies, Penny Black sentiment
Ink - Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves
Paper - PTI Vintage Cream, handmade red paper
Size - 7"x3.5"

    Your stamp collection intrigues me almost every time you post a card. Love these vintage Santas on your inchies. I also love that you kept this simple but added that wonderful splash of red with your border!

    This is so clean and crisp and really lets the Santa's take center stage.
