Sending Hugs

 Hello crafty friends, 

I’m back on The Greeting Farm blog today with a card that’s all kinds of cuteness. This Miss Cheeky, from  the set Miss Cheeky Summer,  is surrounded by these adorable little dogs, from the Bow Wow Wow set.  They are all here to send you a hug. 

I stamped and masked Miss Cheeky, then brought in a splatter heart stencil and blended three shades of pink Distress Oxide inks. A few spritzes of Mica Distress Oxide spray added some shimmer. Once unmasked, I colored her with Copic markers to bring her to life.  The little dogs were stamped seperately, colored and die cut.  I added them to the background surrounding Miss Cheeky.  

After that, I used a frayed stitched border die to cut the panel and layered it over a fun patterned background.

Thanks so much for stopping by today—I hope this card brings you a little smile. 

Have a wonderful day!

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

Hey You! Happy Birthday

 Hello Crafty friends

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a male birthday card! I have two girls so I never had a lot of opportunities to make male cards!  I love creating these!! 

For this card I combined four different stamp sets.  Ian is from Like Like You set, the little dog and sentiment if from Bow Wow Wow set, Hey you sentiment is from Cute Script set and Happy Birthday sentiment is from Miss Anya Birthday set.  

For the background I started by ink blending with Distress Ink Oxide sprays and water. Once dried I used a brick wall stencil and applied a distress Crackle paste and let it dry.  Love the crackled effect on the brick!!  I cut the panel with a stitched border and matted it with a patterned paper.  

All the images were colored with Copic markers, fussy cut and added to the background with foam adhesive.  

The Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped in black and die cut with a banner die, also added with foam adhesive.  The Hey You sentiment was directly stamped to the background in black ink. 

 

To finish I added some enamel dots with matching colors.  

Thansk for stopping by!! 

XOXO

Cheer Up!

 Hello! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a new card.  I'm so excited that it is finally spring!! It is still cold here in Cincinnati but I'm so looking foward to be outside more.  I created this card inspired by spring and the nice walks outside and getting caught in the spring rains!   

I started by creating the background with an outdoor background stamp from my stash.  For the images I used one of adorabe Anyas from the new mystery ANYA COMBO 2 set (limited edition, you can always resquest this set back in the TGF Farmers Market).  The little dog is from the BOW WOW Wow set and the bird from YOU'RE SO TWEET set.    I colored all the images and background with Copic markers and images were fussy cut. 

I added them to the background with foam adhesive to give them some dimension. 

 

The sentiment is from the Anya Combo 2 set and was stamped with black ink.  

I just hope the warm weather comes quickly! 

Thanks for stopping by!! 

Hugs
