My Favorite Things May 2021 Release

Hey friends! Jessie here playing along with MFT Stamps May new release!

I am always super excited when they invite me to play along, and being as I have been in a funk, this has really pulled me out of it!

So for my first project I had to paint up the Freshly Picked Bouquet! Flowers always speak to me! So I had a play with this gem and my watercolours. Probably my most favorite medium of them all!

Onto my second card, how can you not love the Festive Old Friends, also my grandmothers 86th birthday is this weekend so this set went perfect for it!

I hope she loves it! I had a blast making this one, I also used the In Stitches Alphabet Dies to cut out the Eighty Six.

But I did love this set so much that I had to colour up the entire thing with my copic markers!

You can check out the entire new release HERE

Balloon Besties

Hey friends! Today I am playing with a newer release stamp set from MFT Stamps called Balloon Besties! I really love all the balloon images they have been putting out!

I stamped out the little character on Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, and coloured it up with my copic markers!

Once the copics were finished I went in with my coloured pencils to add some details and textures to the image! I finally recorded one of these for you!

Space Explorer

Hey friends! I have been having so much fun finding things in my stash as I move craft rooms!

So for this card, I pulled out a set from MFT that I have had for a long time and my Caran D’ache Neocolor ii’s to create this fun galaxy style card!

I really am happy with how this one came out, I am sure I could have blended the galaxy more but all in all this one came out awesome!

Party Like a Panda

Hey friends! Today I have a fun card and video, creating my own background with watercolours and some copic colouring!

It was great fun creating the pastel rainbow background, then keeping the bright colours for the panda and his little balloons!

Come on, I just can not get over these cute little pandas! I have used this set a few times and just love it every time! The sentiments in this set are also super wonderful!

Sunny Vibes

Hey friends! Today I again was playing with my Kraft paper, Copics and Coloured Pencils. It has been my jam the last few days. They take me about 3 mornings of colouring before work!

So I masked out the little van and put the tree in behind it. After that stamping the sun to the right side of the paper. All using Ink on 3 No Lines ink. I really like it on the kraft paper for this look.

I do really love the white highlight I added between the images and the blue sky.

Your Wings

Hey friends! Today I pulled out an older set from The Greeting Farm and had a play with my copics and some gouache to create a background. Also there will be more gouache and more backgrounds this was awesome!

I really LOVE how she looks flying through sky with those pretty blue, purples and pinks! Using my copics are watercolor paper, blended well but it uses a ton of ink. I wouldn’t do it all the time, but it was fun enough that I will do it again!

Also I have a process video to share how I created these pretty clouds!

The Greeting Farm – October Previews Day 2

Hey all! Today is day 2 of previews for The Greeting Farm October release!

Today’s preview is from a set called Warm Wishes, it has the 2 cute characters I used in my card, as well as, a boy with a dog and a big bow! As always the set is filled out with some sweet sentiments.

I chose to colour mine with my copic markers, and just add in the background with some freehanded birch trees and the snow on the ground. A little bit of bright blue, to add to crisp winter feel of the scene!
