Holiday Anya

Posted in CLean and simple, Prisma Color Pencils, The Greeting Farm, Uncategorized by
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!
The Greeting Farm - Holiday Anya 5 - Jessie Banks.jpg
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.
Thanks for stopping by,
Hugz,

I stamped her out with black, copic friendly ink, and coloured her up with my copic markers, I coloured in the little chalk board around the sentiment to complete the front of this card.

Power Poppy - Heart Abloom - Jessie Banks.jpg
I enlarged and cropped the Heart Abloom Digital Image to fit the front of an A2 size card, then printed it out on Fabriano Artistico 140lbs extra white hotpress watercolour paper. I then pulled out some of my Daniel Smith paints and had a blast painting up all these gorgeous florals!

The Greeting Farm – February Previews Day 3

preview

Wahoo!! We have reached the final day of previews for The Greeting Farm! How Rawr You is today’s set, and of course its DINOSAURS!!

The Greeting Farm - How Rawr You - Jessie Banks

I did a whole ton of stamping and masking for this card, then coloured it all up with my Polychromos coloured penicls. Unfortunately, I coloured it while my son was skating so I didn’t write down all the colours. I love how the sentiment looks in the smoke coming out of the volcano though!

Make sure you stop by The Greeting Farm Blog and see what the other designers have created!
