I am dealing with an arm injury right now, so I do not have a new project for you all. But I do have a video of my colouring of Bobo Anya, of course with everyone home using internet right now, it is slow, and the video has been uploading for 10 hours. I will add it here when it finishes uploading. But until then I will share my fun little card with you all again.

Hey everyone! Welcome to day 1 of previews for The Greeting Farm.
Today we are kicking things off with Bobo Anya, she is an adorable full size Anya, I love her little buns ever so much! I coloured her up with my copic markers and added her on a splashy watercolours background with a little pattern paper in behind that. Yup I am back on this use up my patterned paper thing!
Hey everyone. Welcome to the United we Craft Blog Party! I hope everyone is doing well in their social distancing, quarantining or work. Whatever it is you are doing right now.
I know my world has been full of work. Where I am, most businesses are closed or doing curbside pick ups. I have worked in construction for over a decade, thus far I am still working full time and then some.
But! Crafting is still my way to relax after work. And I love sharing projects with you all! So while I haven’t been able to take any extra crafty pictures, or things. I will share some of those with you all this weekend. I do have a fun card to share for this blog party!!
I had so much fun watercolouring up this set of leaves in two different colour ways, then adding them to a tone grey piece of paper where I used Distress Oxides to stencil on a circle.
Supplies: Affiliate links used where possible at no additional cost to you. All funds are put back into my blog and youtube channel.
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!

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!
