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".

M is for Music / Hollyhocks

The ABC Christmas Challenge is asking for either L is for Little or M is for Music - I'm going with M is for Music.


I made a very quick Christmas card with both a musical background and a musical instrument.  I heat embossed image and sentiment, and layered over an embossed musical score.

And a second card for today, this time for The Paper Players' "Green Thumb" challenge.  I love a lot of the old fashioned flowers and one of my favourites is hollyhocks.  I finally I have a good patch of them in my garden after letting them self sow each year.


I stamped them and painted them with the muted colours of my Cosmic Shimmer Botanical Stains. Added a sentiment on vellum and bordered it with black.
