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".

Pink Wildflowers and a Kraft-Coloured Bee

After my recent spring flowers, I'm going with a simple wildflower today.

I created a stenciled background in yellow and then stamped the images with a brown ink close to kraft. I then coloured them lightly with Distress markers scribbled on an acrylic block and a wet brush.

I've got the four colours for the current Color Throwdown challenge - the wildflowers are pink, the leaves are green, the bee is kraft-coloured, and the honeycomb and card base are yellow.


 

 







Supplies:
Stamps - SU Nature Walk
Ink - Ranger Potting Soil, Distress Wild Honey
Paper - PTI Rustic and White cs
Size - A2
Accessories - TCW stencil, Distress markers, fun foam
