For You Anya

Posted in Copic, The Greeting Farm, Uncategorized by

Hey everyone! I am here today with a bit of inspiration for you all today using The Greeting Farms For You Anya!

TGF Mar 3 card wm.jpg

I coloured her up with my copic markers, then cut her out. I love making shaped cards and really should do it more often they are always super fun! I have been using up pattern paper from my stash for two years now, you couldn’t tell I have used any. I have this need to use the things that I have!

I embellished with some chipboard a few buttons and some twine!

March Farm Fresh Challenge

Posted in Prima, Scrapiniec, The Greeting Farm, Uncategorized by

Hey everyone! It’s a brand new month and that means a new Farm Fresh Challenge over the The Greeting Farm!

This month the challenge is Mixed Media! Now you can go all out and make a lovely canvas, keep it simple and do a one layer card with copic colouring and a distress ink background! It doesn’t have to be elaborate or super simple to be called mixed media, it just has to have more then one medium on the project.

TGF Mixed media.jpg

I landed somewhere in the middle, my image, Blush Bebe was coloured with my standard Copic markers, I then edged all of my papers in distress ink before roughing them up a little. The chipboard was painted with Gouache that I tinted with some pigment powders. after putting on the flowers and getting the card all set together some molding paste really finished it off!

I hope you are willing to step outside of your comfort zone, or play within your favorite style with us on this months challenge!

Hey all! It’s Feb 1, that means its time to start a new Farm Fresh Challenge on The Greeting Farm Blog!

The challenge for this month is 3D, and this is so out of my comfort zone!!! But I did come up with something for you all!

TGF - Carnival wm.jpg

I coloured up SSSC no. 25 – Carnival  with my copic markers a while ago, and thought this was the perfect little project for it!

I broke out my Cameo and cut a square pillow box and all the pattern paper layers with the file, once it was all cut out I inked up all the pattern papers and then glued them onto the pillowbox, adding my image, some chipboard and wild orchid craft flowers and this little box was done!

I can’t want to see what you create this month!
