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".

Dear You

The CASology challenge has a cue card that just says "dear".  I thought of the sentiment I used on this card:

I used a scrap of background from my box of backgrounds. It was done on a gelli plate with pale blue acrylic paint. I put it and the wildflower stamp in the MISTI and inked the wildflower in Distress Seedless Preserves, spritzed very lightly and stamped, then moved the cs over and stamped off very gently for a very pale second impression. Added the sentiment and some sequins and popped it up on fun foam.

  3. I love how you used this stamp and the soft background too! How perfect to use it as part of the subtle background. Gorgeous colors. The stamp is Inkadinkado from a set called Meadow. It is one of my favorites.

  5. How pretty these wild flowers are, Susan! Your choice of ink (Seedless Preserves) is perfect for the flowers with the light blue sky in the background. The stamped off image is subtle, but definitely adds interest to the gelli plate print background!
