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 New Wreath

Here's my reminder card for the CAS Christmas "Wreath" challenge.

I stamped the wreath in brown and the sentiment in red.  Then coloured the berries red, the tiny leaves with a dark green, and the ties on the wreath with antique linen.  I went over the stars with a quickie glue pen and added gold glitter.  I trimmed it with a rectangle die and popped it up on fun foam.

Please come and join us at CAS Christmas and show us your wreath cards!  The challenge is open until June 24th.

A good opportunity to use a never before used wreath stamp - not that I've used it, I'm wondering why it sat for so long before being inked up!  So it's also going off to:

NBUS Challenge








Supplies:
Stamps - Impression Obsession Wreath, Rubber Soul sentiment
Ink - Ranger Archival Potting Soil and Red Geranium
Paper - cream cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Spellbinders rectangle die, Tim Holtz Distress markers, gold glitter, fun foam

  6. A beautifully stamped, colored, and embellished wreath, Susan! The sparkle of the stars must be prettier in real life! The cream color of the front panel and card base adds warm feelings.

  12. I love how sweet and rustic the image is, Susan, and how you have made the berries pop and the stars schparkle! It would make a wonderful OLC for batch-making, too. Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
