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".

Leaving the Christmas Tree Lot

Peace on Earth has a mood board full of pickup trucks this time.  I don't have any stamps or dies but luckily my friend, Loll, came to the rescue and lent me her pickup truck die.


I stamped some trees and a sentiment on the focal panel - my thinking was that the trees represent a "cut your own" tree lot, and the truck has just loaded up its tree.  I then assembled the truck from all of the pieces in the die set.  I cut the truck body twice to give it more dimension over the wheels.  I sketched in the road with a grey pencil to ground the truck.

Here's the mood board from Peace on Earth.  Please come and join us with either a card inspired by the mood board or an "anything Christmas" card.

 

I'm also adding it the Allsorts challenge "Traditional Christmas Colours".
