Feb. Farm Fresh Challenge – 3D

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!

It’s that time of the month again!!! C.C. Designs Previews are coming your way, and as always this release will not disappoint!

cc-cinnamon-paints

I have been on a crazy watercolour kick lately and I thought since the darling Cinnamon was painting a rainbow I should paint her.

I used my Schmincke, Daniel Smith and Golden Qor watercolours to paint up Cinnamon Paints, I added a sentiment from the Lucky Rainbow Sentiment set, added the pannel to a card base and there she is!
