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".

A Winter Scene

It's time for a new CAS Christmas challenge.  This time Christine is our host and she wants to see a winter scene on your card.  Here's what I made:



I used up a scrap of a snowy background I'd made.  It just fit behind the Memory Box Evergreen Window die so I used that to die cut my front panel.  I added a matching blue heat embossed sentiment and popped the panel up on fun foam.

Head over to CAS Christmas to see more inspiration from our Design Team and this month's talented Guest Designer, Izzy (Izzy Scrap).  You have until February 24th to show us your CAS winter scenes.








Supplies:
Stamps - Stampabilities sentiment
Ink - ColorBox True Blue
Paper - white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Memory Box Evergreen Window die, clear embossing powder, fun foam

  11. Your winter scene card is so beautiful, Susan! I love the shade of the blue of the background, and the color pops from behind the white die-cut tree window. Great job of matching the ink color of the sentiment! The shine of the heat-embossing is pretty!
