Challenges – The Greeting Farm Farm Fresh Friday

and

I have used The Greeting Farm Miss Anya Collection she was stamped with Stazon onto watercolour paper and coloured with various markers and watercolour pencils. (including Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick, Tattered Rose, Spun Sugar & tumbled glass + SU Pretty in Pink & Blush Blossom). CS is AC Blush and Paper is MME Miss Caroline Dolled Up. I also used X cut Scallop die and Lifestyle Crafts nesting circles dies. Ribbon from my stash. And I distressed the edges with SU Regal rose ink.

I will be linking this up to the above challenges. Take a look.

We are in very a great day here in Melbourne – already warm outside. Fabulous for nearing the end of the school holidays.

Thanks once again for stopping by. I appreciate the time it takes for my followers.

Cheers

Hi. Hope everyone’s day has got off to a great start. Student free day so have my youngest home today plus I am expecting some tradesmen any time now! We all know how predictable tradies are right?

Anyway I have two cards to share today.

Splendid Stamping with The Greeting Farm

The first is for The Greeting Farm Fresh Friday Challenge Paper Piercing. This is a technique I only tried a little while ago and I am enjoying it.

I have used The Greeting Farm Miss Anya Collection along with sentiment from PTI Train Tracks. I used Twine from SU, cardstock from American Crafts and Pebbles. A Fiskars border punch and tag die from life style crafts. This card is for a 13 year old girl I think she came up alright.

The second card is a first for me. This is the first pinwheel I have ever made. I was surprised at how easy it was. I used DSP from MME Miss Caroline for the pinwheel and a brad from my stash along with a tooth pick for the handle. I used PTI Tiny Tags and die stamped with SU Regal Rose and Soft Suede tied with Blossom twine from the The Twinery. The other cardstock is also from my stash. I punched out butterflies from kraft cardstock using carl and armada punches. Finished off with some rhinestones and hand drawn butterfly trials.

Thanks for stopping by.
