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 Snowman in the Meadow

Time for April's CAS Christmas and our host, Bonnie, is asking us to incorporate a Christmas song.


I have a sentiment stamp that uses one of the lines from Winter Wonderland.  My parents loved that old Bing Crosby song and it evokes great memories of my childhood Christmases.


Very CAS - stamped, watercoloured, went over the snowflakes with a Stardust pen, die cut for some extra interest, popped up on fun foam on a red card base, and added glue and glitter to the snow line and the fuzzy parts of the snowman's hat and gloves.


Please come and join us at CAS Christmas.  I'm looking forward to seeing what Christmas songs inspire you.  Our Design Team and this month's Guest Designer, Birgit (Rapport fran ett skrivoord) have lots of inspiration for you.







Supplies:
Stamps - Old Island Stamp Co. snowman, PrintWorks sentiment
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - watercolour paper, red cs
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, Sizzix die, Stardust gel pen, glitter, fun foam

    Simply adorable snowman image design, Susan. One of my mom's favorite Christmas songs by Bing too. She had several of his and other Christmas albums. Lots of memories when Christmas songs are playing..although I think before Thanksgiving is a little early. Stay safe and creative, my friend. Love and Hugs...nancy
