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".

Spring Birds and New Leaves

The Male Room is asking what spring brings to mind - whether it's the return of the birds, trees greening up, gardening, etc.


For me, it's definitely hearing the birds singing and the plants and trees all coming back to life.  So I combined those things for my card:


I stamped and watercoloured the bird and framed it with a circular frame I made from two circle dies. I bordered my sentiment with the same green as the frame.  I stenciled some leaves in a pale spring green in the empty space at the upper right.





Supplies:
Stamps - SU Friends 24-7 bird, Savvy Stamps sentiment
Ink - Distress Oxide Walnut Stain, Distress Shabby Shutters
Paper - watercolour paper, cream and green cs
Size - A2
Accessories - leaf stencil made on Silhouette, SU label punches, Spellbinders circle dies
