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".

In Front of the Fireplace

Peace on Earth has a mood board for this challenge that has a couple of images of fireplaces with lovely red and green greenery swags around them.  They made me think of a Penny Black stamp I have so I used it for this card:

The image is watercoloured and bordered with a Christmas dp.  I added a bit of Fun Flock to the dog's and cat's hats.

Here's the Peace on Earth Challenge's mood board that inspired me:

Come and join us at Peace on Earth with either a card inspired by the mood board or an "anything Christmas goes" card.  Check out the inspiration from the rest of our Design Team!







Supplies:
