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".

Pup with Red and White Stocking

Inspired by the red and white in the mood board at Peace on Earth:


I stamped and coloured the pup, colouring his stocking in the red and white of the candy canes and other stripes of the mood board.  I added some orangey patches to the dog to make her resemble my dog (an orange roan English Cocker Spaniel).  In keeping with the red and white, I chose a piece of dp to border the image.

There's lots more inspiration from the other members of the Peace on Earth Design Team.  Here's the mood board should it inspire you.  If not, "anything Christmas goes".

And here's a photo of me and my sweet Tessa.  We occasionally go out to visit seniors' homes and this was taken on one of those visits.







Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black
Ink - Versafine Clair Nocturne
Paper - white cs, dp
Size - A2
Accessories - coloured pencils

    This is the sweetest post. I love the red and white card and the pup with his bone in the Christmas stocking. I love that Tessa is sitting on your lap looking so content. I bet the seniors love her.

    What a cute Tessa-like dog, Susan! I've never thought of using dp for a frame. It's a brilliant idea, and I'll remember that. You and your sweet Tessa look great in the picture, and I'm sure your visit made the day for the people in the seniors' home.
