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".

Double Wheels

Dara and Diane's new Double D Challenge is "Let's Pop a Wheelie" - use anything that has wheels.  Here's their mood board:


My sister is going to be going to a wedding a couple of months for a friend who fell in love with the leader of a bike tour she went on.  So my sister asked me to make a card for her to give them.  And here's the perfect challenge for it!


I die cut the bicycles out of pieces from my UFO box - they were either coloured with Distress inks or with sprays.

The hilly ground was cut with a stitched slope die and coloured with coloured pencils and Gamsol.

The sentiment is heat embossed on a label die (to cover up the first stamping of the sentiment that came out crooked!).

I die cut lots of tiny hearts out of gold and silver textured cs and glued them on so that they are flowing between the baskets of the two bicycles.





Supplies:
Stamps - Memory Box sentiment
Ink - Versamark
Paper - white cs, scraps of backgrounds from UFO box, textured gold and silver cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Memory Box bicycle die, Impress Cards and Crafts tiny hearts die, label die, stitched slope die, coloured pencils, Gamsol, Platinum embossing powder
