The Greeting Farm Thank you card

 Hello Crafty friends!  

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a thank you card using the adorable Thank Mew stamp set.  I created this card to thank a friend that recommended this family for my foster cat Oreo. He was the best stray cat I've ever met but unfortunately after almost 5 months of fostering him, he never got along with my other 2 cats.   This family was the perfect fit and Oreo is doing so well.  I'm very grateful for my friend recommending them to us.  



I colored the little cat with Copic markers to match my Oreo. The image was fussy cut and added to the circle die cut with foam adhesive.  I also stamped and fussy cut the HI sentiment. 




 For the background I used the little mouse toy and ball yarn from the set and stamped with different colors.  Sentiment was stamped in black and I finished the card with some enamel dots.  





Thanks fo stopping by! 

Hugs

Cat T7, T5, T3, C0 R20

Welcome back to The Greeting Farm last day of February’s previews! Today we introduce the adorable Mini Remix Spring set.   I love all the images!! 2 Ians and 2 mini Anyas, great little accessories and a beautiful sentiment! This makes me happy!!



I started working on the slimline background and used a cloud and grass stencil with Distress Ink Oxides.  

I colored each image with Copic markers and I die cut them with my Scan & Cut.  I added the flowers, grasshoppers and butterflies to the background.  The main images were added with foam adhesive to give a little dimension.  All was matted with a slimline scalloped die. 

I can't wait for Spring!!

Valentine's Card from The Greeting Farm

 Hello Crafty Friends

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing new Valentine's card.  I used a couple of  adorable stamp sets:  HeHe Kitties and Bow Wow Wow.  These little fury cuties are the perfect size for this postage die cover and are perfect to wish you all a great Valentine's Day. The sentiments are perfect too!



I used Copic paper for the poastage backgound. I stamped all the animals first and masked them.  I then worked on the background with a cloud stencil in diffrent shades of pink using Distress Ink Oxides.  After I used a heart stencil and with a little darker pink I stenciled them into the clouds.  I colored all the images with Copic markers and I added the sentiments.  I matted the panel with black cardstock and a heart patterened paper.  






A perfect Valentine's to all animal lovers.  

Thanks for stopping by! 

XOXO
