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".

Embossed and Stencilled Snow

I live in Vancouver, Canada and we normally have mild rainy winters but we've already had two periods of extra cold snowy weather.  So this card is perfect for what I see when I look out my windows.


The background for the focal panel was done with blue acrylic paint and a dotted stencil on a gelli plate. I die cut the house / trees and stuck a small piece of gold cs behind the windows of the house, then stamped and heat embossed my sentiment on it, and bordered it with the same gold cs. I ran the card base through a dotted embossing folder.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge - I chose the top horizontal row of snow, stencil, tree.

Time Out Challenge - winter / holiday

 

 






Supplies:
Stamps - PB sentiment
Ink - ColorBox gold
Paper - white and gold cs
Size - A2
Accessories - gold embossing powder, Cuttlebug dotted embossing folder, blue acrylic paint, dotted stencil, house / tree die
