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".

Snowbaby in Pink and Little Jingle Bells

It's that time of year when the Jingle Belles challenge does its Pink Christmas challenge to raise money for breast cancer research.  I've done a Penny Black snowbaby in pink so I'm also linking it up to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge (a Penny Black stamp in bright colours).


Stamped and watercoloured, with a bit of shimmer paint for the snow (in the photo it came out kind of dirty looking but it isn't in real life), trimmed with a square die and bordered in pink.

I've also got a card for Simply Clean and Simple (something little).  I used a little image of jingle bells.  

I pulled out a very old SU stamp, stamped it, coloured it with metallic coloured pencils, except for the berries that needed a regular red pencil. I embossed a frame around it with a label die, put it on a copper metallic card base, and added sentiment die cut from the same copper metallic cs.
