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 Nutcracker

The new Peace on Earth mood board is full of nutcrackers.  I didn't have any nutcracker stamps or dies so I found a digital stamp to make this card.


It's coloured with coloured pencils that pick up the colours in the dp background featuring metallic holly leaves.

There's lots of other ideas from our Peace on Earth design team showing how they were inspired by the nutcrackers on the mood board.  We'd love to see your cards - and if like me, you don't have any nutcracker stamps or dies, feel free to make an anything Christmas card.










Supplies:
Stamps - TerevelaDesign digital nutcracker stamp, unknown sentiment
Ink - Versafine Clair Nocturne
Paper - white cs, red with green metallic holly leaves dp
Size - 6x3.25"
Accessories - coloured pencils, sentiment banner die

  6. Great idea to go for a digital image as you didn't have a Nutcracker, he's a fun one and beautifully framed with the DP.
