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".

Easter Bunnies and Christmas Train

An Easter card for AAA Card Challenge "E is for....", Inkspirational Challenge "E is for....", and Sweet Stamping "Spring or Easter".

I stencilled a swirly leafy background with light shades of Distress green inks. Then stamped the text and mushrooms in light brown and the bunnies and sentiment in dark brown. I popped the panel up on fun foam.
 
I went with a Christmas card for Cut It Up "For Babies or Kids".
I stamped all the images, coloured them with alcohol markers, and die cut them with the matching dies. Added them to my focal panel (die cut with a pierced rectangle die) and drew a black line under the train and added a sentiment below. Added a layer of green cs to border it and show through the pierced dots.
