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".

Stamped and Dry Embossed Pine and Pinecones

52 Christmas Card Throwdown wants an embossing folder on our Christmas cards this time.  I used one as a background that totally ties in with my stamped image.


I love the way the embossing folder has the pine branches and pine cones that are in the stamped image.  The image is coloured with coloured pencils and die cut with a circle die.  The sentiment is die cut once out of dark green and once out of white and glued together to give it more dimension.










Supplies:
Stamps - Serendipity chickadees
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - white and dark green cs
Size - 4.75" square
Accessories - coloured pencils, Sizzix embossing folder, MFT sentiment die, Spellbinders circle die

  4. That is gorgeous with that wonderful 3D background embossing, and I do love birds on a Christmas card and these are very prettily coloured Susan, and love the sentiment circle you have put them in. x
