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".

Blue with Dove and Starry Sympathy

 Many of you know I love blue so I'm thrilled to see these two challenges - Addicted to CAS "Code Word Blue" and Try It on Tuesday "Feeling Blue".  And AAA Cards wants a CAS card with something that flies in the air.

I roughly painted a paneil with a couple of shades of blue acrylic paint and then stamped and heat embossed my dove in white.  I trimmed the panel with a hemstitch square die and mounted it on a white card base.

My Time to Craft wants to see a sentiment - I went with the sentiment being a major part of the card.  It's also perfect for Word Power where the sentiment has to be the focus of the card.

I stamped my sentiment in black and then lightly stencilled some stars over and around it.  Trimmed the panel and popped it up on fun foam of a dull gold shimmer card base.

  2. The blue acrylic paints make an excellent background to your beautiful white dove Susan and the hemstitch square mat finishes it perfectly, and the lovely words with added stars as the centrepiece on the second works well placed over the soft gold shimmer card...so pretty, the both of them. x
