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".

Greenery for Dec. 25

Shopping our Stash wants to see numbers for their new challenge and Sweet Stampin' wants no designer paper.  Here's my card:

I put the greenery stamp in my MISTI, inked up the leaves with various green Tombow markers, spritzed with water, and stamped on watercolour paper. Then stamped the sentiment with green Archival ink. I added clear rhinestone stickers for the mistletoe berries - I'd been thinking I'd have red holly berries and then realized all the berries were on the mistletoe stems and mistletoe berries are white, so no red berries this time. I used a matching dark green cs for the card base.

    That's a beautiful stamp with the mix of holly and mistletoe, and love the glittery berries Susan, and given a pretty watercolour look with the markers straight to stamp and spritzed for a slightly looser look...a great seasonal make! x
