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".

Blue and Green Sparkle

The Paper Players want to see "Sparkle" and I have a lot of scraps of glitter cs leftover from Christmas card making.  So I made a sparkly winter card.


I die cut all the pieces twice - once out of the glitter cs, once out of scrap cs - glued them together to give them more substance and arranged them on a dry embossed background.  The bird has a bit of foam tape under him to pop him up above the pine branch.

The Four Seasons Challenge "Anything Winter"









Supplies:
Paper - blue and green glitter cs, white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Memory Box bird die, Penny Black sentiment die, Impression Obsession pine branch die, snowflake embossing folder

  3. Simply BEAUTIFUL Susan! I have that background embossing folder and never even used it once this year (yet) ... since it's still winter here I guess I need to lay it out as a reminder to utilize it ... thanks for inspiration! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Four Seasons Challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back again soon.
