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".

Baubles and Christmas Colours

Usually with a mood board I am inspired by one particular image in it but for this Peace on Earth challenge, I used a mixture of elements from the mood board - the colours in the top two images and the baubles in the bottom left.


The image is stamped and watercoloured, with a shimmery white watercolour paint used for the candle (unfortunately the photo doesn't show the shimmer).  I used a narrow black mat, popped the panel up on fun foam on a red card base, and added a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker.

Here's the Peace on Earth mood board:

You can either be inspired by it or enter an "anything Christmas" card in our challenge.







Supplies:
Stamps - Jofy candle
Ink - Versafine Onyx black
Paper - watercolour paper, red and black cs
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, TH sentiment sticker, fun foam
