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".

Holly with a Bird

The CASology Challenge wants a card with holly on it.


And I love Christmas cards with holly as the theme - almost as much as I love birds as the theme, so I especially this image that combines both.  I've had this stamp almost since I first started making cards so I'm happy to be giving it some use!

 
I coloured the image with coloured pencils and Gamsol, trimmed the image to its black outline, bordered it with red, stamped the sentiment in red, and added Glossy Accents to the berries.
 
I also made it for a SCS challenge to make a card in a size other than A2.  The stamp really suits a tall narrow card base.
 
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Stamps - Magenta bird and holly, Impression Obsession sentiment
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black, Memento Rhubarb Stalk
