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 More Valentines

I've got a last couple of Valentines today.


I sprayed some gold spray on mixed media cs and then took the nozzle out of the bottle and tapped the tube to get some larger drops to fall.  I wrapped some gold thread around the panel.  I die cut the hearts out of red glitter cs and arranged them across the panel. Popped it up on fun foam for dimension.

Here's another photo showing the sparkle of the spray on the upper left corner.  It's so hard to capture it in a photo.


It's for the Just Us Girls "Slim Line Cards" challenge.

 

And the NBUS Challenge - I've never used those heart dies before.


Moving on to my second card:


I sprinkled pink Magicals on watercolour paper and spritzed with water. I die cut the circle of hearts out of white cs and layered it over the pink Magicals layer. I stamped the sentiment in the centre and popped the whole panel up on fun foam.

Here's a close-up that picks up the sparkle of the Magicals:


This card is for Addicted to CAS "Code Word: Hearts".

    Two beautiful and sparkly Valentine's Day cards Susan. I love those pretty red die-cut hearts with the different designs. So beautiful when paired with the gold spray and cording. And the pink shimmers behind the heart wreath apertures. Very pretty! xx

    Two more pretty valentine's, Susan! Love the gold spray and splatter and the thread along with the sweet red glitter hearts! The magical pink background shows through the die cut beautifully! So feminine but not too fussy.

    Beautifully designed, Susan. I just love those hearts, so very different. They look great in the red glitter. Your pink is gorgeous too- two great cards for Valentines. I may have to break down and get some Magicals after seeing you use them.
