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".

Black Trees, Blue Sky

Peace on Earth has a lovely mood board of winter tree scenes.  I chose the top right image to inspire this card:


Rather than do a splattering of many tiny snowflakes, I did a few large snowflakes by using snowflakes masks on a gelli plate with a couple of shades of blue acrylic paint.  I die cut a line of evergreen trees twice out of black cs and glued them together for more dimension.  The sentiment is heat embossed in white on a banner die cut.

Here's the Peace on Earth mood board:



Please come and join us.  We'd love to see how you're inspired by the mood board (but if you're not, you can post an "anything Christmas" card.
