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.

Holiday Anya

Posted in CLean and simple, Prisma Color Pencils, The Greeting Farm, Uncategorized by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! I amhere today with some inspiration for you all! In my area of the world we have received a ridiculous amount of snow in the last couple days, I figured well lets use some holiday stamps, in a winter way… so I pulled out Holiday Anya 5!

I coloured up the image with my coloured pencils, I did this while my son was reading to me so I didn’t get the opportunity to write down the colours I used. The background was created with my watercolours and I am very happy with the way it came out! I added the sentiment from the Kitty Stacks stamp set, just to make not quite so holiday themed but more winter feeling.

The Greeting Farm - Lift off go time - Jessie Banks.jpg

I did tons of masking for this card, combining Mega-Mini Go Time, and Mega Mini Lift Off. I created the background with my Distress Oxides on Kraft Cardstock, then coloured up all the rest using my coloured pencils, I mix Prisma Colour and Polychromos Pencils.

I have been making tons of Happy Birthday cards lately, I was running low! I hope you found some inspiration in this and you play along

Up in the Air

Posted in CLean and simple, Copic, distress ink, My Favorite Things, Prisma Color Pencils, Uncategorized, Watercolor by jesscbanks

Hey all! Today I have a card just for fun! I created this one layer card featuring My Favorite Things Up in the Air, and My Favorite Things Ewe are the Best.

I created masks for all these little stamps using masking paper. Which allowed me to create the background with distress inks, I created a cloud stencil by stamping the clouds touching and fussy cutting them out. After, I coloured all of the images up with my copic markers. I then enhanced the background with a little bit of watercolours and the images with a black coloured pencil and a white gel pen.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Jessie

Hey everyone! It is Wednesday and that means its time for another Wonderful Wednesday challenge! Bring out your Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps, and make whatever your heart desires, no theme, doesn’t even have to be a card!

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps - Dollie Diver - Jessie Banks.jpg

I coloured up Dolly Diver, with my Faber-Castell Polychromos, and Prismacolor coloured pencils. I did this hanging out outside on my deck before the weather started to cool off, so I do not have a list of colours that I used. I have been all over these super CAS cards lately and this one is no exception. I created an angled block of colour along the top of the panel for my sentiment to sit along.

Hope you found some inspiration here to play along!
