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 Yellow


The Color Hues challenge is asking for either blue and yellow (in support of Ukraine) or green and gold.  I posted a green and gold one a few days ago, and today I'm here with a blue and yellow one.

For the butterfly, I smooshed on a piece of cs with three Distress Oxide inks. Then I stamped the butterfly on it (and heat embossed it), and then fussy cut it.

I used embossing paste through a stencil for a background for the butterfly.

    That background is stunning. I love the texture of it! The butterfly looks awesome mounted over it and the coloring is beautiful. I love the look smooshing gives.
