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".

Mum and Baby Polar Bears

One of the images on the new Peace on Earth mood board is the sweetest picture of a mother and baby polar bears.  It reminded me of a stamp I have of a sweet baby polar bear riding on its mother's back.

I stamped and watercoloured image, trimmed with a square die, bordered with gold shimmer paper to match the gold paint I used for the stars, and then dotted on a few snowflakes with a white Posca paint pen (not sure they show up in the photo).

Here's the mood board:
