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".

Tic Tac Toe Snowflakes

The latest Tic Tac Toe challenge has a line "snow, free, and blue".  And the Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge has shades of blue with snow.   I made this card:


First I made the background by sprinkling various blue Brushos on a snowflake stencil and spritzing with water, then pressing the stencil onto mixed media cs to create a stencil monoprint.

I trimmed the panel, made a frame for it with a regular rectangle die and a stitched rectangle die, die cut some snowflakes out of various blue glitter cs, and added a white heat embossed sentiment on a strip of navy cs.

Off it goes to Tic Tac Toe for the centre vertical line:

And the Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge:


And Diane and Darlene have a new challenge - Stencil Fun - anything goes as long as you use a stencil.
