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".

Painting with Shimmer Paints

I have some much neglected, but very beautiful, Yasutomo Pearlescent Watercolour Paints and thought they'd be perfect for a Christmas card.


I stamped the Penny Black winter scene and watercoloured it with pearlescent paints. It has a wonderful shimmer but I couldn't capture it very well in the photo.

I've just got time to sneak it into the Penny Black Saturday Challenge "Anything Goes" before it closes.







Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black, Make an Impression sentiment
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - watercolour paper, shimmer copper c
Size - A2
Accessories - Yasutomo Pearlescent Watercolour Paints

    What a sweet little winter image and I bet the shimmer from the pearlescent paints look beautiful x. The falling snowflakes and the cute robin look so pretty Susan x.

    Another gorgeous winter scene, Susan! It's beautiful without showing the shimmer so I can imagine how it looks when the light hits it!

    A beautiful winter scene, Susan! The subtle colors make the scene look so peaceful and quiet. I can imagine the pretty shimmer of the watercolor and the copper borders. :-)
