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".

Christmas Birds in a Row

One of my favourite themes for Christmas cards is birds.  So I pulled out a rarely-used bird stamp from my excessively large collection of bird stamps.


A very CAS card - stamped, watercoloured, bordered with a bit of copper shimmer cs, and popped up on fun foam.

I'm linking it up with two challenges:

Less is More "In a Row"

Christmas Cards All Year Round "Something that Starts with A or B" - I have birds.








Supplies:
Stamps - Crafty Individuals
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - watercolour paper, cream and copper cs
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, fun foam

  3. These birds are so sweet and beautifully colored! Is there any such thing as too many bird stamps? I think not.
