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".

Santa and Greenery

Time for a new CAS Christmas challenge - this time hosted by Barb and she's asking for cards featuring Santa.  It seemed the perfect opportunity to ink up a never before used stamp:

A simple card, stamped, watercoloured, splattered a bit, and bordered with black.

Please come and join us with your cards featuring Santa.  There is lots more inspiration from our wonderful Design Team over at CAS Christmas.  Sadly no Guest Designer this month because yours truly got out of sync after CAS Christmas's recent hiatus, but hopefully we'll have two Guest Designers next month to make up for it!

CAS Christmas
 

 







Supplies:
Stamps - Tim Holtz
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - watercolour paper, black and cream cs
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints

    What a lovely Santa card, Susan! You colored the image so beautifully, and I especially love the shadows of the greenery and the shading and highlights of the baubles. The ornament Santa is so cute!

    Yay! It’s only allowing me to leave a comment as anonymous, but at least I can leave a comment now. Wonderful Santa card. Beautifully coloured. Great control with the splatters.

    I can just see this sitting on the center of the family dinner table. You did an amazing job coloring it and bringing it to life!
