The Greeting Farm: There are no words

 Hello TGF friends! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing my latest card.  I created a sympathy card for a friend who lost her cat.  I used this little image from True Friend set and the sentiment from Deepest Sympathy. It was just the perfect card.   

I started by ink blending the background with Distress Oxides inks.  I die cut the little poloroid frame 3 times to give it a little more dimension.  The image was colored with Copic markers and die cut.  On the frame I added a couple of the flowers from Deepest Sympathy set, as well as the butterfly.  The sentiment was heat embossed in white. I added a few enamels dots and framed the whole card with a white stitched frame.  

Thank you for stopping by!  

Hugs

Mama Elephant: Happily Ever After

 Hello

I've been finally playing with some of my newer Mama Elephant stamps.  I created a couple of cards to enter in ME 10th year Anniversary celebration and a chance to be a guest designer.   

I created a wedding card using the cute Little Agenda HOuse set and the cutle little gnome couple from Little Girl Gnome Agenda set.   I started by stenciling the background with Distress Ink Oxides, creating the sky and the grass.  All the images were colored with Copic markers and die cut.  I used the  dies for the focal point of the scene.   The Sentiment is from Happy Words Banners set.  

For the second card I used the It's OKAY stamp set and the Leafy Cover die.  1st I created both the leaf and sky  background with Distress Oxides ink Sprays and water.  Images were colored with Copic markers and die cut.  The sentiment was stamped with white ink. 

Thanks for stopping by! XOXO
