A brief detour yesterday to post a birthday card but now I'm back to working on my Christmas cards today!
It's going off to two challenges:
The Flower Challenge:
Addicted to CAS:
For
the Flower Challenge, I stamped and heat embossed the poinsettia, the
leaves, and the sentiment. For ATCAS, I used contrasting colours from
the colour wheel.
I used white embossing powder for the
poinsettia and leaves as it gives good contrast to the red and green
watercolouring in them. I fussy cut them and arranged them with double
sided and dimensional tape on a stitched die cut panel that is popped up
on fun foam. I embellished the centre of the poinsettia with gemstones
that were close to the platinum embossing powder I used on the
sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by today!
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".
