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".

Lavender - Lilac - Purple Inchies


The current Double D challenge is asking for "Lavender - Lilac - Purple".  Isn't that a divine colour combination!

I made two panels with various Magicals by sprinkling the colours on watercolour paper, spritzing with water, and letting dry.

Then I stamped each panel with a different background stamp - one with positive flowers, one with negative flowers - and heat embossed in white.

I took a 1" square die and cut three inchies out of each piece (selecting the flowers I liked best). I spaced them out on white cs, bordered with dark purple, and added a sentiment.

I have a friend who absolutely loves purple so will be sending this to her.










Supplies:
Stamps - Rubbernecker background stamp (positive flowers), unknown background stamp (negative flowers), Savvy Stamps sentiment
Ink - ColorBox white, Memento Grape Jelly
Paper - white and purple cs, watercolour paper
Size - A2
Accessories - white embossing powder, Spellbinders square die, Magicals, SU sentiment label punch

    Beautiful inchies, Susan! Love the gorgeous magical's colors! Stamping positive flowers and negative flowers adds so much interest and balances the portion of the colors and the white.
