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".

Vintage Winter Sledding


A very quick CAS card today for a couple of challenges.

 
I added drops of blue metallic ink to coated cs, spritzed with water and let it spread around, and then patted off the excess with paper towel.

Once it was dry, I stamped and heat embossed in black, trimmed the panel, and popped it up on fun foam on a linen card base.

I'm linking up with these challenges:

Christmas Kickstart Challenge - "You Sleigh Me" - sledges, sleds, and sleighs


52 Christmas Card Throwdown - "Winter Sledges"







Supplies:
Stamps - Inkadinkado
Ink - Versafine Clair Nocturne
Paper - coated cs, off white linen cs
Size - A2
Accessories - blue metallic liquid ink, clear embossing powder, fun foam

    That has to be one of the greatest stamps I've seen in a long time! If you ever purge I'd like to get in line to buy. Beautiful job with the inked background.

    What a great way to color the background and it looks just like a soft winter sky. I love that image because I used to have a sled just like that. We refinished it and my son has it now and stands it up against the house each Christmas. What sweet memories this brings back.
