I coloured up the little images with my copic markers, then created the background with some very simple and splashy watercolours.

Make sure you stop by The Greeting Farm Blog and see what everyone else created! As always there are some gems over there.

The Greeting Farm June Previews Day 1

preview

Hey all! Welcome to the first day of previews for The Greeting Farm! Today’s set is called Plan It Anya! I always love when we get a new large Anya to add to my collection! And since planners are all the rage this set is so fitting!

The Greeting Farm - Plan it Anya - Jessie Banks

I coloured the image up using the no line technique with my copic markers. I created the background using some of my watercolours. The sentiment comes from the Up stamp set!

Make sure you pop over to The Greeting Farm Blog and see what the other designers have created!

Treena Twinkles

Hey everyone! It is time for  a new challenge over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps Blog, this week is my turn to host the challenge and the theme is MERMAIDS!

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps - Treena Twinkles - Jessie Banks.jpg

 I love colouring mermaids, tails are always so fun and they can be any colour your little heart desires! I coloured upTreena Twinkles for today’s card. Remember once these Annie images are gone they are retired, so if you don’t have her yet you should pick her up!

I coloured her up with my copic markers, and then created a splashy watercolour background for her to sit on, after I fussy cut her out! I love created these cards where the image has tons of the detail and the backgrounds and loose and suggestive of what it is suppose to be.

Pull out your markers, and your mermaid stamps and play along!

Thanks for stopping by Hugz

Inspire Me Monday – Ruffled Up!

Hey everyone, Jessie here today with another Inspire Me Monday for you all! Today I am painting up the Wild Ruffled Orchids!
I had a blast with this image, playing with a new watercolour brush that I got for Mother’s Day, this was the first real image that I got to paint with it. But I love this brush!

As per usual, I have a process video to share with you all!
Happy colouring

The Greeting Farm May Release BLOG HOP!

It’s the 15th, and that means the new MAY Stamps are NOW available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store. Our first set, BEACH BUMS, has all the elements to create a relaxing pool or beach-side scene. Next, we introduced a cute jellyfish, adorable octopus, and fabulous squid in the HANDS DOWN set. With summer right around the corner, we couldn’t forget about camping and s’mores in the S’MORE FUN set. And finally, the HAPPY TO SEA YOU set showcased more sea fun with an awesome shark and whale, along with additional sea creatures.

To celebrate we are having a BLOG HOP, where one lucky fan will take home all 4 sets!! Pretty AMAZING! Be sure to leave a comment on each designer’s blog, and then head back to The Greeting Farm Blog to let us know you completed the hop. Easy Peasy!

For my card, I used the S’MORE FUN stamp set. The background was created using Distress Inks and Watercolours. The characters and scene elements were coloured with Copic Markers.

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps - Busy Beatrice - Jessie Banks

Getting your mojo back!

PP_Blog_InspireMeMonday_Badge_JessieBanks.png

Hey all, you know how sometimes life gets crazy busy, and just have no time and the mojo takes a holiday… Well that is what I have been dealing with, it is not very often I don’t make something for a couple of weeks, but that is what I have been dealing with lately.

One of my favorite things to do is paint up some florals for a card, and being on the Power Poppy team allows me to do that, which is great when I need to force myself back into creating.

So I printed off the Everything’s Rosy digital image and turned on the camera and took an hour or so to myself and just painted it.

By the end I found myself again, it was fun and I loved getting back into the swing of things, sometimes you just need to push yourself to make something.. anything!
