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".

Floral Birthday

A birthday card for a dear friend:

 
I coloured the image with my new Cosmic Shimmer Botanical Stains - love the colours of them!  I added a bit of splatter and a few sequins, and, for a change from my usual cream or white, I used a dark coloured card base.
 
It's for The Paper Players Tic Tac Toe challenge.   I chose the left hand column - feminine, birthday, florals.









Supplies:
Stamps - Altenew Charmed flowers, unknown sentiment
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - watercolour and dark green cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Cosmic Shimmer Botanical Stains, sequins, Lil Inker stitched rectangle die, fun foam
