Swimming by to say Hello

  Good morning! 

It’s almost the end of May and I couldn't end it without a mermaid card for MerMay!! I love anything mermaid and The Greeting Farm has some fin-tastic mermaid stamps sets!! 

For today’s card I used some stamps from the adorable  MERMAIDS GALORE set.  This is a bigger limited edition set and no longer available at the shop but you can always request it in the Farmers Market.  

I created a underwater scene with this cute mermaid and all the different fishes swimming around her.  

I first created the underwater background with Distress Mica Oxide sprays and water. I die cut the scene with a stitched frame die. I added the sentiment with white embossed ink.  I stamped all the images, all were colored with Copic markers and die cut. They were added with foam adhesive.   

 I added glitter in some of the images and finished by adding some water drops beads.  

Hugs and see you next time!

Feel Better My Friend

 Hello Crafty Friends! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a new card. I just got the new PETAL PRINCESSES new big kit!  I couldn't wait to color some of these cuties!! This set is absolutely amazing!! (not available at the store but can be requested in the Farmer's Market)   I had a hard time picking one and I settled for the cute one with the pixie cut.   I created a get-well card for my daughter's friend that is recovering from surgery.  The sentiment is from FEEL BETTER  set. (not available at the store but can be requested in the Farmer's Market). 

I started by working on the background die cut panel.  I ink blended with three different green Distress Oxides inks. Then I sprayed it with Distress Spritz to give it a little shine.  I then die cut the panel with this petal cover die from Simon Says Stamps.  I used a patterned paper for the back of the cover die.  

I colored the images with Copic markers and die cut them.  They were added to the background with foam adhesive.  The sentiment was stamped in black and die cut with a oval die.  

I love these bright colors. 

Thanks for stopping by!! 

Hugs

I'm So Sorry - A sympathy card

  Hello Crafty Friends

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a sympathy card.  Sadly my brother's family dog was sick and  passed away. I used this sweet image from the TRUE FRIEND set to create a sympathy card for the family.  The sentiment is from the DEEPEST SYMPATHY set.  I have combined these two sets before and I just think they make the perfect heartfelt card for the loss of a fur baby.  

I created the main scene by stamping the images and coloring them with Copic markers.  I die cut the scene with a wavy stitched round die. 

 I layered different papers and stamped the sentiment on the second one.  The main scene was added with foam adhesive for some dimension. The last thing I added enamel dots on one of the corners.

Hugs
