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".

Sheep in Red Sweaters

The Peace on Earth's mood boards almost always inspire me!  This time one of the images immediately made me think of my stamp of two sheep in Christmas sweaters.


A quick make - stamped and watercoloured and trimmed with a stitched rectangle before putting on the card base.  I used gold metallic paint for the star in the sky and the stars on one of the sweaters, and splattered a bit of gold paint and the grey paint I used for the ground.

Here's the Peace on Earth mood board:

Supplies:

    These a fun sheep with their bright red jumpers Susan, and love the stitched rectangle you placed them on and finished with a lovely gold painted star and spatters to match, and a lovely sentiment too...a beautiful card. x
