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".

Slimline Snowflakes

Just one card for you today.  I wanted to get it posted for a few challenges before they close.


I went over the TH snowflake stencil with embossing paste and then, while it was still wet, I added Speckled Egg embossing glaze to give it colour.  I heated it with my heat gun which caused some of the glaze to bubble a bit and then subside, adding even more texture to the snowflakes.

I added a very thin black cs border, stamped the sentiment in black on a small scrap and heat embossed it with clear powder, and added a thin black border to that piece as well.

Challenges:

ABC Christmas Challenge "E is for Embossing" (I have both embossing paste and embossing glaze.)

    I love CAS cards and this one is fabulous! The embossing glaze is perfect snowflake color. Combined with the text on your sentiment reminds me so much of “Frozen”. Thank you for sharing it and playing along with ABC Christmas Challenge ~ Wendy
