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".

Framed Spaniels

Just Us Girls is asking us to add a frame to our cards.

 
 
I needed to make a thank you card for my dog breeder so decided to frame the two dogs.
 
 
I stamped and fussy cut the two spaniels - one looks like Tessa and is in her colouring, and the other looks like dear old Will who passed away two years ago.  I die cut the pierced frame die three times and glued them together to give substance to the frame.

Here's a photo of the two of them together - Tessa still a puppy, Will a tired old fellow - but they loved to snuggle together.


I sure do miss sweet Will.








Supplies:
Stamps - Grey Wolf Graphics dog stamp, Raintree dog stamp, Memory Box sentiment
Ink - Archival Jet Black, Distress Vintage Photo
Paper - white cs
Size - 5.25" square
Accessories - MFT pierced square frame die
