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".

More Metallic Colours on Black

Here's another of my final results of painting with metallic watercolours on black watercolour paper.


Like the earlier one, the image and sentiment are heat embossed in gold on black watercolour paper and then painted with Twinkling H2Os.  I splattered with watered down gold and white acrylic paint, bordered in gold shimmer cs, and mounted on a white card base.

Linking up with:

Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black poinsettia / holly stamp, Paper Smooches sentiment
Ink - ColorBox gold
Paper - white cs, gold shimmer cs, black watercolour paper
Size - A2
Accessories - Twinkling H2Os, white and gold acrylic paints
