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".

Red Birds on an Ornament

Lauren and Stephanie over at Jingle Belles have challenged us to put birds on our Christmas cards.


I had a gold card board from underneath a French pastry I recently bought. It was still very clean after I'd eaten the pastry, and too perfect to throw away - and perfectly ornament-shaped with the tab at the top!

I added a green shimmer holly die cut, two die cut red birds and a sentiment, then embellished with dark red gemstones for the holly berries. I "hung" the ornament with gold cord from the top of the card base.

I might have to go back to that pastry shop again!





Supplies:
Paper - cream, red, and green shimmer cs, gold cardboard cake board
Size - A2
Accessories - Penny Black holly die, Tattered Lace "merry" die, Memory Box bird dies, dark red gemstones, gold cord
