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".

Flowers with Lattice

A card using a lattice die that has been in my stash for years and never used.


I smooshed some Oxide inks onto coated cs, let it dry, and then die cut the Alexandra Renke flower dies. 

I die cut a piece of lattice and set it behind a stitched aperture die cut, then layered the flowers over it and added a sentiment banner.

The whole panel is popped up on foam tape to give more of a sense of dimension to the lattice.

    That is such a gorgeous die, Susan. Love the mottled coloring by smoothing in onto the card. That lattice is perfect for a background and I always loved that stitched opening. Beautiful!

    I have a different lattice die that I don't know if I've ever used either, Susan, but after seeing your lovely card I will get it out. It looks perfect with the simple die cut flowers. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge.
