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".

Icy Winter Scene

Here's a reminder card for the CAS Christmas February challenge "Winter Scene":

I stamped the trees / fence image and sentiment in dark brown, added a die cut reindeer (cut from dark bronze shimmer cs), drew some "ground" under the reindeer with a brown coloured pencil, bordered the panel with the dark bronze shimmer cs, and popped it up on fun foam.  To add the icy feeling, I went over the trees, fence boards, and lines on the ground with a Quickie glue pen and added glitter.  It's more glittery in real life - just so hard to photograph.

If you'd like to join us with your "winter scene" Christmas card, you have until February 24th.  Please visit CAS Christmas for more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.








Supplies:
Stamps - Serendipity trees / fence, SSS sentiment
Ink - Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves
Paper - white cs, dark bronze shimmer cs
Size - 5" square
Accessories - Impression Obsession reindeer die, brown pencil, fun foam

  9. Beautiful winter scene. The non-traditional brown/bronze colour palette is so cool and unique… and so appropriate for your scene. The icy glittery snow is the perfect finishing touch.
