Hey all! Today is the final day of previews for The Greeting Farm! Today’s set is called Holiday Wishes, and penguins are my favorite animal (fun fact, my first email address ever was about penguins, I was 14).

I kept it super light and fun, painted it up with my watercolors keeping it all super simple and splashy, I am really trying to get more lose with my painting. I need to keep working on that.

My Favorite Things – Hog Heaven

Hey everyone! Today I have a super CAS card featuring My Favorite Things – Hog Heaven. I have made this card to enter into the Clean and Simple Genius challenge for the 2017 Card Design Superstar Challenge.

I coloured these cuties up with my copic markers, and then enhanced the shading with my coloured pencils after. I really love all the white space and the transparency of the balloons. The more times I try the no lines colouring the more I am starting to feel comfortable and not completely terrified when I start one.

Isn’t this adorable, and there are a few different versions so you don’t have to use the candy cane, one has a bow instead of just the bow tails (that is so not the proper word but it is the one I am going with lol)

Power Poppy - Merries Wishes - Jessie Banks

I did my usual thing, I enlarged the image and added a great sentiment and then coloured it up, I always find the Power Poppy images look so good when they are huge! once I was done colouring it, I added some clean Nuvo drops over the berries, as you would glossy accents or something of that nature and then called it done!

Copics used:
Red – R89, R29, R08, R05, R02
Green – YG99, YG67, YG63, YG61, Y21

I coloured up Teacup Fairy with my copic makers (sorry I coloured all of these while I was camping and I forgot the book with all the colours written in it out at the camper). I fussy cut her out and layered her on top of a stenciled background.
