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".

Last Minute Plants

Sneaking in right under the wire for the Paper Players "Plants" challenge.


Here's my card:


The background was made out of blue brushos sprinkled and then spritzed with lots of water.

I chose one of the flowers out of the Tim Holtz set of wildflower stamps. I stamped it three times with grey ink and then three more times with black ink on top of the grey ones.

Trimmed the panel, wrapped a sentiment stamped on vellum around it, bordered with black, and popped up on fun foam on a white cs - love the contrast of black, white, and blue!






Supplies:
Stamps - TH wildflower stamp, Savvy Stamp sentiment
Ink - Memento London Fog and Tuxedo Black
Paper - white and black cs, watercolour paper, vellum
Size - A2
Accessories - blue Brushos, fun foam

  8. Pretty blue brushos background, Susan! I love that you stamped the shadow wildflowers in gray. They add so much interest and depth. Using vellum for the sentiment strip is a clever idea. It doesn't block the scene and yet clearly shows the sentiment.
