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".

Iris Thank You

The Paper Players are asking for a Clean and Simple Thank You card.


Here's my card:


I stamped and heat embossed the iris in white, then watercoloured both iris and background, and then splattered some blue in ink.  I stamped the sentiment on a piece of white cs and die cut a window in it.  I popped the window up over the iris image and added it all to a white card base.

Thanks for stopping by today!







Supplies:
Stamps - unknown
Ink - ColorBox white,
Paper - watercolour paper, white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - white embossing powder, watercolour paints, rectangle dies, foam tape

    This looks like a painting by an old master, Susan, and more so because you framed it as it deserves! Perfect coloring! Keep well! Hugs, Darnell
