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".

Off the Edge Poinsettia

I played with Magicals, using a technique that Loll taught me over Zoom.  I overspritzed part of my poinsettia and made a huge blob of colour so it was a perfect piece to trim down so that my image went "off the edge" of the focal panel.

I placed the poinsettia stamp in my MISTI, tapped it with Versamark, then lightly brushed Magicals over it, spritzed with water, and stamped onto watercolour paper. 

A simple heat embossed sentiment, a bit of fun foam behind the focal panel, and a shimmery cream textured card base finished it off.

It's heading off to these challenges:

CAS Mix Up is doing watercolour this month.  And they want an "off the edge" image.

The Paper Players want a CAS holiday card.


 

And 52 Christmas Card Throwdown has a colour challenge.








Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black poinsettia, Rubber Soul sentiment
Ink - Versamark, ColorBox Chianti
Paper - watercolour paper, shimmery cream textured cardstock
Size - 6.25x3.5"
Accessories - red and green Magicals, clear sparkly embossing powder, fun foam
