Cute Chemists

Posted in My Favorite Things, Watercolor by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! Here is my second entry to the MFT Stamps Card Design Superstar, this one is for the Coloring Virtuoso!

I pulled out the Cute Chemists stamp set and stamped the little guy and the puff of smoke in distress ink so it disappeared as I watercoloured this guy up. I have been loving watercolouring for quite some time, and am finally feeling fairly confident with it.

Slowly building up all the layers to bring this guy to life. then adding some additional smoke in behind him. He turned out ever so perfect!

Drink Up the Sunshine

Posted in CLean and simple, Copic, distress ink, My Favorite Things, Uncategorized by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! Today I am starting the day off sharing my entry for MFT Card Design Superstar Clean and Simple Genius category.

I started out by colouring the little girl up with my copic markers. Then adding the finishing details with my black coloured pencil. Once she was cut out I created some sweet little waves using Make Waves stencil and distress ink. Embossing the sentiment from the same Drink up the Sunshine stamp set on black cardstock and couple enamel dots finished off this sweet little CAS Card.

The Greeting Farm – September Release Hop

Posted in The Greeting Farm, Watercolor by jesscbanks

It’s the 15th, and the SEPTEMBER Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! Our first set called MISS ANYA HELLO WINTER features 3 big Anyas all prepared to deal with the cooler weather in style, along with an adorable mini snowman! Next, we introduced some too-cute-to-spook characters in the TRICK OR TREAT 3 Set. Lastly, we showcased a set called MY CARE TEAM, which is not only perfect for get-well cards, but also for thank you cards to the nurses and doctors who take care of you and your family.

I love how this Trick or Treat 3 set can be used outside of halloween. It is a great costume set, but is also great just for scenes. I watercoloured up this little sheriff, then added the cacti in the background by just sketching them in then painting them.

To celebrate our release, we are having a short BLOG HOP. You have until SEPTEMBER 18th at 12pm CST/1pm EST to leave your comments on each Designer’s Blog and The Greeting Farm Blog (letting us know you completed the hop). The winner wins this entire release!

Today we have a set called My Care Team. The cool part is you can build a giant little hospital scene of all these fantastic people that help us through some tough times!

I love all these fun characters, I created a long card with a bunch of the characters from this set. This card is 2.5 x 7 inches, inside I stamped the ambulance and the “best care team” sentiment from this same set!

The Greeting Farm – September Preview Day 1

Posted in Caran D'ache, colored pencil, Faber- Castell, Luminance, Polychromos, Prisma Color Pencils, The Greeting Farm by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! We are back for another set of previews for The Greeting Farm! This month’s release is amazing!!

I pulled out all my coloured pencils for this one. One thing I love about this medium is how friendly they all play together. Prismacolor, Polychromos and Luminance. I can mix them in endless ways to create tons of looks!

I think added a little bit of detail with a white Posca marker and added some stitching to finish it off. The sentiment comes from the Holiday Wishes stamp set.
