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".

White Trees, Gold Stars

The Christmas Craft Creations challenge "Trees" is ending soon and I want to get a card in for it.  And two challenges are calling for stars - Jingle Belles and Sparkles Christmas Challenge.

For the background, I used a leftover piece of black cs that had some gold spray on it. I added gold stars with gold embossing paste through a stencil. Then die cut the line of trees - they were just the right size for my scrap of background. Popped it up on fun foam and left it without a sentiment. In this case I prefer to just have a sentiment inside, rather than cluttering up my design.

    The white die-cut trees beautifully pop against the gorgeous background, Susan! The combination of the gold spray and the stenciled gold star make a fabulous night sky!
