The Greeting Farm - Chelsea Christmas Card

So, I crafted again today! Wooh! So, here are the fruits of my labour-

I was originally going to use Angel Anya, but couldn't find her, so ended up using Wild Sprout Chelsea instead, and colouring her for a Christmas Card! 

I coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, (of course,) and fussy cut her out. I stamped the Kraft layer using En Francais from Stampin' Up! in white craft ink, and sprayed some perfect pearl mist in copper over the top. I then cut out a doily using my Cheery Lynn Die with printer paper and spritzed it with more perfect pearl mist. I then layered up some ribbons and stitched all around the edge of the Kraft layer. Once that was done, I masked and stamped the present from Gifty Gwen and coloured them up with my markers. I fussy cut them out and then layered them and Chelsea up on some distressed white card and stamped the  sentiment from Gifty Gwen on the card. "Family is the Greatest Gift - Of the Season" 

I used inspiration for this card from Splitcoast Stampers - TGFSC23 Sketch, the Anyone for Anya? Christmas in July challenge and the Annabelle Stamps Say it with Christmas.

The Greeting Farm For You and Jenny Bowlin Embellishments

Hi again! 2nd Post for today! Don't forget to either scroll down or click here to see my Feeling Sketchy DT Post. This card came together while I was sitting chatting to Annmaree tonight.

I started out with the For You stamp set, I used the little guy from this set not long ago, you may remember it from here.... I had her already coloured, paper pieced, glossy accented and stickled all up... I then built the card around her. I used an Early Espresso card base, layered up with patterned paper from My Minds Eye and Simple Stories, I stitched them together using my sewing machine and distressed the edge of the Gingham paper. I then added a vellum doily from Cheery Lynn Designs I then added a circle of white card stock, spritzed it with Perfect Pearls Mist  in Copper and sponged it the edges with River Rock ink. I then attached my Jenny Bowlin wooden flag and then added a bunch of dimensionals behind my little girl. Three silver rhinestones finish off the card.
I am entering this into three challenges, the first is the Splendid Stamping with The Greeting Farm stitching challenge, next up is the Anyone For Anya? Circles challenge and finally the Moxie Fab World Splatter technique challenge.

Sweet Anya and I create a Mother's Day card

Hi! I stayed up late (ish) last night, talking with Annmaree (emu) and playing with paper... Perfect night really! Here is what I made -

I had the background paper out from another project, which I'd decided not to use, so I couldn't let it go astray. It is from the 6x6 paper pad Fabulous by Simple Stories, I've layered it onto some Crumbcake card and then set it aside to colour my little Anya. I stamped her on watercolour paper, using Staz On ink, and coloured her with my Stampin Write Markers, I also added a touch of shading to her skin using Tombow watercolour marker 990 (light sand.) I popped her to the side, and continued building my card. I cut out a doily from vellum using my Cheery Lynn French Doily Die, and glued it down to the patterned paper. I attached some hand dyed lace from D-Lish Scraps and added a button and a little bit of jute twine. I stamped the sentiment, from Stampin' Up!'s Friendly Phrases onto a piece of Confetti White card stock (sponged with River Rock ink) and attached it to a slightly bigger piece of Crumbcake before attaching it to the card base with small dimensionals. Lastly, my Anya, stuck down with higher dimensionals. 

I am entering this into three challenges - First is the Tuesday Morning Sketch which I have been meaning to get back and play with... Next up is the Ribbon Carousel "word to your mother" challenge for mother's day, and finally the Anyone for Anya? Lace challenge 

Thanks for popping by!

Some Odd Girl - Thank you Mae

Hi guys! It's been quiet over here recently huh? Well, last week, I got home from work to find that my housemate had packed his things, and moved out. He'd left me a note... Yeah, so I was a bit devastated, add to that the fact that my uni assignment is due today (finished it earlier!) and I haven't had time or energy to craft.... I made this card though last night, as I needed a break....

This card started out very differently in my head.... But, I do love where it ended up! I actually coloured and paper pieced Mae (Thank You Mae stamp set) a couple of nights ago, and then lost motivation, so she sat on my desk looking up at me with those big green eyes, until I added her to a card.... The base (which is hard to see) is Crumbcake, layered with Vanilla cardstock and patterned paper from Kaisercraft and Simple Stories Fabulous Paper Pad. That big doily? It's a new addition to my ever growing die collection, one from Cheery Lynn Designs, which is a new line The Stamp Spot is carrying! I added a strip of Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon and tied a bow. The sentiment is from the Thank You Mae stamp set, and was stamped on scraps of Crumbcake card, and cut to fit. I added 6 black little rhinestones to finish off this card.

I am entering this into the Some Odd Girls monthly challenge, which for the month of May is a sketch (see below) I loved the design teams interpretations :) I am also entering this into the Ribbon Carousel's Photo Inspiration I took inspiration from the colours of the photo :) Also, a big Happy 1st Birthday to the Ribbon Carousel!!
