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".

Christmas Colours on Black

At a recent crafty zoom get together, we used metallic watercolours to paint images on black watercolour paper.  I loved it and have since continued to use the technique. 


I used the colours of the newest Color Throwdown - red, black, green, and gold.

I heat embossed the image with gold embossing powder on black watercolour paper, then coloured with my Twinkling H2Os.    I added some gold splatter but decided it also needed a some white splatter to lighten it up a bit.  I trimmed the panel, popped it up on fun foam on a gold card base, and added a Tim Holtz stick-on sentiment.
