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".

A Cat Sleeping on Wool

A card for a friend who has a black cat and is a knitter.

 
I stamped and watercoloured the image. I ran a top panel through an embossing folder and cut out the inner rectangle. I layered it over the image with foam tape.
 
 
 









Supplies:
Stamps - Rubbernecker cat, Simon Says Stamp sentiment
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - cream cs, watercolour paper
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, Cuttlebug embossing folder, foam tape

  8. Brilliant to cut out and make a frame from the embossing folder. The kitty is so sweet and she's not unrolling the yarn to play with. Maybe that's after her nap.
