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".

Pine with Pinecone

Time for the latest challenge from Peace on Earth.  I was inspired by one of the images on their new mood board for this card:


I put the pine branch in my MISTI, randomly dabbed various mini Distress inks over the branches and stem to get some colour variation, spritzed lightly with water, and stamped on watercolour paper.  I did the same with the pinecone stamp.  Added a sentiment, bordered with brown cs, splattered some light ink, and used a Quickie glue pen and glitter on the white areas of the pine cone and in some of the angles of the branch (it's quite subtle and doesn't show up in the photo).

Peace on Earth is an "anything Christmas goes" challenge but if you want to be inspired by our mood board, here it is:

There's lots of other inspiration from the rest of the Design Team over at Peace on Earth.








Supplies:
Stamps - SU Ornamental Pine, unknown sentiment
Ink - Distress minis (Forest Moss, Pine Needles, Evergreen Bough, Gathered Twigs, Frayed Burlap)
Paper - watercolour paper, brown cs, PTI Vintage Cream cs
Size - A2
Accessories - glitter
