Hey all, it has been a long time since I have been able to do a Monday post over at Power Poppy. But, I am back!
So today I am using the Bubbles and Fizz digital image and my gouache for something new. In this time I am having fun using all the things that are in my stash and forgotten goodies I have collected over the years.
In true Inspire Me Monday style I have a process video of my card for you all, this one isn’t my most favorite thing I have ever made. But I had fun with it!
I recently got my hands on the new watercolor palette from Altenew! So I had a play with it and then decided to film a little comparison of it with the other 36 half pan set.
Hey all! Today I am sharing a fun watercolor tag using Even More Spring Flowers from Simon Says Stamp!
I had a fun play with a watercolor ground sample I found in my stash, the fun part of being locked at home is I am using so many things I have had in my stash forever!
I did film and entire process video for you, and will have links to all the products used at the bottom of the post!
I hope you all are well, and staying healthy in this craziness!
It’s the 15th of the month and the MARCH 2020 RELEASE is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store. Our first set named CHEEKY HOWDY features a stylish cowgirl ready to conquer the world in her cowgirl boots. Next, we took you to the French countryside in our set called BOUQUET. Our 3rd set called MISS ANYA BLESS YOU features two big Anyas with 4 amazing sentiments. Lastly, we introduced a new word cutting die called CONGRATS that is perfect for graduations, a new baby, promotions and even retirements.
To celebrate we are having a short BLOG HOP, where one lucky fan will take home the entire release! You have until MARCH 18th, 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). We will announce the random winner later in the week on the Blog and in our Facebook Group: The Greeting Farm Fan Page.
I took the Bouquet set and stamped it out with white ink on some black watercolour paper, I then pulled out my small supply of gouache. Something new I am playing with and really enjoying the looks I can get with it! I enjoyed being able to layer light over dark on the flowers in this card!

Hey all! Today I am back with some more watercolouring! It has kinda become my obsession lately!
I stamped them out with Tea Dye Distress Ink, then used my Mexico palette to paint this one up, I am so happy with how soft the colours came out, and how stamping in light ink and not adding the character faces back in creates suck a different look from this stamp set.
I always start with a light wash of colour, just to get rid of the white of the paper, and ease the intimidation of painting it! I love working in light layers of colours over dry paper.
I then slowly worked my way across the cacti, addint layers of greens and yellows and building up the depth till I got to the finished card!
I chose not to stamp a sentiment on the card front and add it to the inside, when I decide who I am giving it to and what sentiment I need.
We have reached the final day of previews for The Greeting Farm, that means all the things will be available on the 15th (Sunday).
Today we have a Congrats die, I love the big scripty word dies that The Greeting Farm releases. This month instead of doing my typical Eclipse Technique, I layered the die cuts creating a drop shadow.
I then pulled out a piece of vellum with cold dots on it and put it on a kraft card base. Adding my die cut to the front of the card really finished this one off!
Hello Everyone! Welcome back to another day of previews for The Greeting Farm!
Today we get to introduce Miss Anya Bless! This one is super pretty, and now that I am typing this, I should have used yesterdays set and buried her in florals. I will have to do that!
I coloured her up with my copic markers, then fussy cut her out. Then I was at a loss, no idea what to do with her. So I took her over to my patterned paper stash and found a scrap of paper from Prima, probably from 7 or more years ago and used it to mat a kraft panel on. Pulling out my Distress Oxides and a clound stencil I created an angle of clouds and bordered it with a white line. Popping the girl up on top finished this card off.
Hey all! Welcome back to day 2 of previews for The Greeting Farm.
Today we are sharing a new set called Bouquet, and I played with the “Mexico Palette” again when painting these pretty florals up!
I stamped it out with Tea Dye Distress ink then started painting it up, I love working in layers and creating depth on the card, adding a little gray dropped shadow to some of the florals and the sentiment really finished this one off!
Hey all! Welcome to another set of previews for The Greeting Farm!
We are kicking things off this month with A new Cheeky! Meet Cheeky Howdy!
I have been on a watercolor kick, but I wanted to do a scene and play with my copics for this card today, I stamped out the image and then free handed in the cactus and the background.
Hey all, I have been having a blast with my watercolours and gouache and things lately. Don’t worry the Gnome video is almost done, you will get to see that soon.
But today I pulled out a background set from Simon Says Stamp and did some no lines watercolouring with it. It seems to be my thing again lately!
This one probably took me about 3 hours to paint. It was a wonderful time, I love just mindlessly painting, it is always a good time!
