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".

A Santa for Peace on Earth

For this challenge, Peace on Earth has a great mood board with Santa images.  I used an old Santa stamp that I've had for ages.


I coloured the Santa with watercolour paints, added a vertical sentiment, trimmed with a pierced rectangle die and mounted on a red card base to allow colour to show through the pierced dots.

Please check out the inspiration from the rest of the Design Team and join us at Peace on Earth with a card.  We'd love to see you be inspired by our mood board, but if not, you can enter an "anything Christms" card.  










Supplies:
Stamps - SU Santa, Impression Obsession sentiment
Ink - Versafine Clair Nocturne
Paper - cold press watercolour paper, red cs
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, Sizzix dotted rectangle die
