Farm Fresh Challenge

Hey all! It is November 1st, which means time for a new Farm Fresh Challenge over at The Greeting Farm this month we are doing one layer cards, a personal favorite of mine!

The Greeting Farm - Lift off go time - Jessie Banks.jpg

I did tons of masking for this card, combining Mega-Mini Go Time, and Mega Mini Lift Off. I created the background with my Distress Oxides on Kraft Cardstock, then coloured up all the rest using my coloured pencils, I mix Prisma Colour and Polychromos Pencils.

I have been making tons of Happy Birthday cards lately, I was running low! I hope you found some inspiration in this and you play along

Dolly Diver

kks20challenge20blinkie20emilie20tire

Hey everyone! It is Wednesday and that means its time for another Wonderful Wednesday challenge! Bring out your Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps, and make whatever your heart desires, no theme, doesn’t even have to be a card!

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps - Dollie Diver - Jessie Banks.jpg

I coloured up Dolly Diver, with my Faber-Castell Polychromos, and Prismacolor coloured pencils. I did this hanging out outside on my deck before the weather started to cool off, so I do not have a list of colours that I used. I have been all over these super CAS cards lately and this one is no exception. I created an angled block of colour along the top of the panel for my sentiment to sit along.

Hope you found some inspiration here to play along!

Hello There

Hello there 1

Hey everyone, Here is another card from me. This stamp is from CC Designs and is called Baby Willow, she is coloured with my Prismacolor Pencils.

Hello There 2

 

This is what I would call a scrap card, all of the patterned papers on this card were out of my scrap bag (leftovers from other projects). They are all distressed on the edges and inked with vintage photo distress ink, then layered on kraft cardstock to allow the card to not appear to busy.

The trims are from my stash, some lace and some Sari Silk Ribbon. The pearls are from Recollections, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the hello there sentiment is from Scraptastic.

Hello There 3
