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".

A Bear Bearing Gifts

June's CAS Christmas challenge is "Gifts".


I used a never-before-used stamp in a Penny Black set that I bought for one of the other stamps.  Not sure why I never inked up this adorable bear!


A very easy CAS card!  I watercoloured the image and went over the ribbons, bows, and polka dots with a silver metallic paint pen.  I bordered the image with silver mirri card, die cut the sentiment from the same silver card, and popped it up on fun foam.

Please head over to the CAS Christmas blog to see the lovely cards by the rest of the Design Team members and this month's Guest Designer, Leslie (Running with Scissors).  And then link up your clean and simple Christmas card featuring gifts!






Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - watercolour paper, silver mirri card, ivory cs
Size - 4.75" square
Accessories - watercolour paints, silver metallic paint pen, fun foam

    Awww, so cute! I almost used a polar bear. He's looking very happy that you finally inked him up. Very cheerful and fun!
