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".

Mice with Presents

I pulled out some not-yet-used stamps after being inspired by the mice with Christmas presents in the bottom left image of the new Peace on Earth mood board.  I've got three mice with presents and a similar colour scheme to the image.


I stamped the two images and coloured them with coloured pencils.  Then on another piece of cs, I stamped the sentiment, cut two square openings, and trimmed it with a wonky stitched rectangle die.  I popped this layer up over the stamped images.

It's also getting linked up with Sparkles Christmas Challenge "Gifts" 

Here's the Peace on Earth mood board that inspired me.  Be sure to check out what the rest of our Design Team created and then come and join us!
