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".

Two Heads, Two Challenges

A card for a couple of challenges:

Cardz for Guyz "Birthday for an Adult Male"

Day of the Month Card Club "Make your Own Head Day"  (this can be interpreted by including one or more heads on your card)


I stamped the image on watercolour paper, painted just the flowers and butterfly as I like the horses the way they are. Popped it up on fun foam on first a white layer with the sentiment, then a blue layer to match the blue butterfly.








Supplies:
Stamps - Impression Obsession horses, A Muse sentiment
Ink - Archival brown
Paper - white and blue cs, watercolour paper
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, fun foam

    I love just the coloring on the flowers and butterfly. The horses look right at home among the flowers.

    What a wonderful and peaceful image. The horses are adorable x. I love how you've left them un-coloured and I love just the pop of colour at the bottom x. One very special card....Thinking of you and hope you are getting stronger and keeping well x.

    Leaving the horses uncolored makes this card so special, Susan! I love it! The blue border tying to the butterfly is a really nice touch.
