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".

Fashion Shopping

The Paper Players challenge is "Fashion Fun".



My youngest sister loves fashion and shopping so this card is for her:


The image is stamped and watercoloured, then trimmed and put on a dotted embossing folder (I thought it went well with the polka dot dress), and the sentiment added with pink ribbon.

Like the women in the image, my youngest sister also wears high heels a lot - unlike me who would instantly sprain my ankle if I tried to walk in high heels!

 






Supplies:
Stamps - MFT Say Charge
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - white cs, watercolour paper
Size - A2
Accessories - Gansai Tambi watercolour paints, Cuttlebug embossing folder, sentiment tag, pink ribbon

  6. I have a friend like your sister, able to wear those heels, whereas I no longer can or choose to do so...I'd rather my feet feel good! However, I appreciate the styling shoppers and your clever card for your fashionista sister. Fabulous coloring and design with the polka dot background! Thanks so much for joining The Paper Players this week Susan!!

  7. What a fun image and the embossing folder compliments the dotty dress perfectly! I think there's a time and a place for high heels Susan and I'm afraid a day at the shops isn't it for me (comfort over style unfortunately!) although must concede the ladies on your card are oh-so-stylish and I'm sure your sister will love this. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!

  8. A perfect card for your sister and I love the dresses. I see ladies in the grocery store in heels and I feel under dressed in my athletic shoes. Especially since I'm not athletic anymore! Cute purse with the flower and colorful shopping bags too.

  9. This is SUCH a fun stamp! I can imagine using it for Christmas with the caption "It's beginning to cost a lot like Christmas." Love this against the dotted embossed background and what fun colors too.
