TGF Little Heroes 2

I watercoloured this one up as a tall skinny card, I love it! Then my son decided it was a great bookmark and it now lives in his Captian Underpants novels.

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. You have until Saturday, MARCH 18th at 12pm CST to leave your comments. We will announce the random winner the following week.

TGF Oh Dragon

I made a super small 3×3 card, I watercoloured up this darling little dragon and the background. I really love how this cute little note card turned out! I think I need to make a bunch of them!

Planning for Magnolias

Hey everyone Jessie here today sharing another watercolour card for Power Poppy with you all today! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it! I am thrilled that I will now be able to share an Inspire me Monday post with you all every month!
I stamped out the branch of flowers from the Planning For Magnolias stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black ink on Fluid watercolour paper. I painted the image with my Schmincke and Daniel Smith watercolours (there is a process video for you here in this post.) After everything was nice and dry I stamped the sentiment from the Prairie Cheer Set!
I have recently created a facebook group, that the wonderful Marcella told me to share with you all! The group is called Cards and Colour! In the group I am doing one or two live colouring events a month using different colouring mediums (There is even one coming up for Power Poppy, shhhh!!) It’s also a place where we chat about different things with colouring and stamping and share everyone’s wonderful makes, I would love you to come join us!
Now that is enough of my babbling and on to sharing the video!

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!

Orchid Dreams

Hey all! I am back today with a new special release Digital Stamp for Power Poppy!

ppdec1602d_orchiddreams

I love this image, Marcella created this one for Rhea’s 50th birthday! It is so lovely! You can grab Orchid Dreams Digital Image here.

orchid-power-poppy

I painted this one up with watercolour using both my Schmicke set as well as a couple Daniel Smith paints. I don’t keep track of the paints I use as they are always mixed together and different colours layered on top of eachother. But I do take my time and add lots of layers.

There are some other examples using this image from the wonderful Design Team!

Let’s Celebrate

KKS Lets Celebrate 1.jpg

Hey everyone! It’s getting ever so close to a brand new year! And this card could be used to celebrate just that occasion. I used Let’s Celebrate from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. I stamped it out with Ranger Archival Ink on Fabriano Artistico 140lbs hot press watercolour paper. I painted this image with my watercolours (Daniel Smith, Golden Qor, and W&N Cotman).

Here is the speed painting video of me painting this image, there was roughly 3 1/2 hours of footage I used and sped up for this 15 minute video! I hope you like it!

This card was super fun to make and aside from the painting I kept it rather simple a few layers of patterned paper, flowers, ribbon and a few sequins.
