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".

Robin and a Plant Pot

I love it when I see a mood board or an inspiration challenge that immediately makes me think of a stamp I have!  That's what happened with this card for the new Peace on Earth Challenge.


Stamped and watercoloured, bordered with copper shimmer cs, and embellished with a Quickie glue pen and glitter on the snowy bits.

Here's the mood board for Peace on Earth.  You'll immediately know which image inspired me!

Please come and join us at Peace on Earth.  You can be inspired by the mood board or you can enter an "anything Christmas goes" card.  There's lots of inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.








Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - watercolour paper, cream cs, copper shimmer cs
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, glitter
