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".

Die Cuts and Scraps of Perfect Pearls

Never wanting to waste any beautiful bits of background, I created this card:


A while back, I made some backgrounds using the smooshing technique with Perfect Pearls.  See the third card on this post for more details.

I had just enough of the background piece used on that third card to die cut a background for the landscape / reindeer die (out of the part of it that showed the lovely shimmer) and then enough of the more solid dark area to die cut the letters for merry christmas.

The image is popped up on fun foam and the letters are painstakingly glued down one at a time!

Off to these challenges:

Jingle Belles - Use Die Cuts - I used them for the whole card.

Snippets Pixie's Playground - I used the snippets of leftover background and a snippet of white cs.

Rudolph Days - Anything Goes

NBUS Challenge - Never Before Used Stuff - I'd never used any of the dies I used on the card.








Supplies:
Paper - white cs, black watercolour paper
Size - A2
Accessories - Blue Interference Perfect Pearls, unknown reindeer / landscape die, lower case merry christmas die, fun foam
