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".

Alice

My best friend has a dog called Alice who is the worst food thief in the world.  Alice adores my friend's husband more than she loves anyone else and he adores her.  He says she loves him the best because she watches him all the time, but we say it's because he gives her more treats than my friend does.   When I saw this stamp, I had to have it - the dog looks like Alice and the sentiment is so perfect for her food obsession.

 

I stamped in dark brown ink and heat embossed in clear, added a bit of red heart tape under the dog to ground her, and used a dark brown card base. It looks more black in the photo, but  actually dark brown (the colour of my friend's dog).

I'm giving the card to my friend to give to her husband as a birthday card from Alice.

I'm linking it up at Cardz 4 Guyz where their challenge is "Things with Tails".







Supplies:
Stamps - Technique Junkies
Ink - Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves
Paper - cream and dark brown cs
Size - A2
Accessories - clear embossing powder, red heart tape
