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".

Snowflake Triptych

Reminder time for CAS Christmas!


Having stepped out of my snowflake card comfort zone with my first card (I went with white and cream), I am back to what I think snowflake cards should be (white and blue).


I stamped and heat embossed the three snowflake stamps on a scrap of cs and did the same with the sentiment on my top layer of cs, out of which I cut the PTI Take Three die.  I set the snowflakes behind the top layer and added to a white card base.

The embossing powder is SU's Dazzling Diamonds - one of the best for sparkle.  Here's a close-up photo with the light at a different angle to catch some of the sparkle:


Please come and join us at CAS Christmas and show us your snowflake cards.  You have until July 24th to link up.  There's lots of inspiration from the Design Team and this month's fabulous Guest Designer, Jane (Onions and Paper).




Supplies:
Stamps - PTI Take Three Winter, Impression Obsession sentiment
Ink - Encore Metallic Blue
Paper - white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - SU Dazzling Diamonds embossing powder, PTI Take Three die

    I love the beautiful vertical design, Susan! The sparkle from the heat-embossed images and the sentiment is simply gorgeous! Great close-up.
