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".

Snowy Trees

The ABC Christmas Challenge wants to see S for Snow and T for Trees.  Here's my card:

I created a background by sprinkling various blue Brushos on my craft mat and spritzing with water, then pouncing mixed media cs into it till I was happy with the result. I let it dry then splattered a bit of white gesso on it for snow in the sky. Added a die cut white tree line, sentiment, and a gold star and popped the panel up on fun foam for dimension.

Stamps - A Muse sentiment
Ink - blue ink
Paper - mixed media cs, gold shimmer and white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - various blue Brushos, white gesso, Memory Box star die, tree line die, fun foam

    I love the gorgeous Brusho background, Susan! The white die-cut trees beautifully pop against the snowy night sky.

    I like that way of using Brushos. I think you have more control over the color shade and this is lovely. The white trees just pop against it.

    LOVE all the variations of blue in your brushos sky Susan. So much movement to this card. Gorgoeus with the white die-cut trees and your beautiful North Star. xx

    What a beautiful watercolor sky! I love that you let it be the start by adding some "plain" trees and start. Wonderful design! Thank you for sharing it and playing along with ABC Christmas Challenge ~ Wendy
