The Greeting Farm - Holiday Anya 6 a - jessie banks
I have been really trying to expand my watercolour abilities as of lately, which has been super challenging and extremely fun! I stamped out Holiday Anya 6 and then painted her up with all my paints, I love the image, the background could have used a little more work, but we have to start somewhere!
To celebrate we are having a short BLOG
HOP, where one lucky fan will take home all 4 sets!!
You have until OCTOBER 18th at 12pm CST/1pm EST to leave your comments on each Designer’s Blog and The Greeting Farm Blog. We will announce the random winner later in the week.

I decided to pull out my watercolours and paint up this adorable little mouse. Once the card front was painted it felt like something was missing, so I pulled out some of my metallic paints and added a little shimmer to the glow of the lantern.

Hey all! This weeks colour focus is on one of my most reached for colours, not for the bright vivid lively colours it makes but for the earthy side of it for leaves and grounding and all that stuff! I truly do love Sap Green.
