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".

Candy Canes for Peace on Earth

The new Peace on Earth challenge has a mood board full of Christmas treats like candy canes, gingerbread, etc.  I was especially inspired by the bottom left image with the greenery and the candy canes.  It inspired me to pull out a very old stamp - one of the first I ever bought when I started making Christmas cards.


Stamped and coloured with coloured pencils, including a metallic gold pencil for the ribbon.  I trimmed it with a stitched rectangle die, bordered it with dark green cs, popped it up on fun foam and added it to a candy cane dp background.

Here's the Peace on Earth mood board.  We'd love to have you join us with a card inspired by the mood board, or an "anything Christmas goes" card.



I'm also linking this up to a couple of other challenges - Inkspirational "Layer It" (I have three layers on top of my card base) and 12 Months of Christmas "Stitched" (I used a stitched rectangle die on my focal image).

  








Supplies:
Stamps - either Serendipity or Creative Images candy canes, unknown sentiment
Ink - Versafine Onyx black
Paper - white and green cs, candy cane dp
Size - A2
Accessories - coloured pencils, gold metallic pencil, Lil Inker stitched rectangle die, fun foam
