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".

Cats and Christmas

Anyone who has ever lived with a cat knows that they can create havoc at Christmas.  Somehow, Christmas trees, Christmas decorations, etc. seem to bring out the worst in them!  This month one of the images on the Peace on Earth mood board depicts exactly that.  It inspired me to make this card.


I stamped the image, then painted the stars and the Santa hat with Twinkling H2Os, and grounded the cat with a bit of grey watercolour paint.  Trimmed the panel with a square die, bordered it with a starry dp background, and added Fun Flock to the brim and pompom of the hat.

Here's the Peace on Earth mood board:


There's lots more interpretations of it over at Peace on Earth from the rest of our Design Team.  We'd love to have you join us!








Supplies:
Stamps - Technique Junkies
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - watercolour paper, off white cs, Bo Bunny dp
Size - 5.25" square
Accessories - red and gold Twinkling H2Os, grey watercolour paint, Fun Flock
