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".

White Branches

My favourite colour combination is white and blue so when I saw the new Peace on Earth mood board, I was immediately drawn to the top right hand image.  It inspired this card:


I sponged two shades of blue Distress inks for the background.  Then made sure it was dry as I wanted to heat emboss on it.  I was extra careful to cover it all with my embossing buddy, and then stamped and heat embossed the branches and sentiment in white.  I created a frame for it with two stitched rectangle dies, cutting it twice for more dimension.  Assembled everything and I was done.

Here's the Peace on Earth mood board.  Check out what else the Design Team came up with and then we'd love to have you make a card and link it up.



I'm also linking it up at Colorful Options "Blue and White".
