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".

Dreaming of Travel

The Male Room wants us to make a card depicting where we'd like to travel if we could travel right now.  France, especially Paris, is one of my favourite places.


 

Here's my card:



I stamped the map background at a friend's house - don't remember the company so if anyone knows, let me know in the comments and I'll add it to my supplies list.

The focal image was created with various alcohol inks on Yupo. I then lifted the flourish image with Alcohol Ink Lift-off. The Eiffel Tower was stamped with Staz-on.

After assembling the card, I used a Tim Holtz rub-on arrow to point from the Eiffel Tower to Paris on the map.

How long do you think it will be before we feel comfortable getting on a plane and travelling somewhere?







Supplies:
Stamps - unknown map background, Tim Holtz Eiffel Tower and flourish
Ink - Staz-on black, Memento Tuxedo Black, various alcohol inks, Alcohol Ink Lift-off
Paper - cream and black cs, Yupo
Size - A2
Accessories - Tim Holtz rub-on arrow
