We CLICK! The Greeting Farm Final Guest DT Week!

Today is my final day as guest designer for The Greeting Farm! Thank you so much for having me!

I wanted to finish off with a set that is currently available in the shop, so I used Snapshot Anya, isn't she adorable?

I created a watercolored background by ink smooshing Uncharted Mariner, Fossilized Amber, and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide inks on a piece of watercolor paper. I then took another piece of watercolor paper and stamped the accessory stamps from the Snapshot Anya set all over it using Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I flicked some Uncharted Mariner and Fossilized Amber Spray Stain on it, then used the DI-92 Retro Numbers die cut frame from AALL & Create, using black cardstock for the back piece. I stamped Anya and the 3 Polaroid pile with Versafine Black, embossed with clear embossing powder and colored with Copics. I fussy cut them carefully and attached with foam dimensional dots. I printed out the wedding couple (old digi from TGF) really tiny, colored with Copics, stamped the frame around it and fussy cut just around the inner frame. I then attached that to the background with a foam dot to the frame that was already stamped on the background. Lots of dimension on this one!

Here are some close-ups where you can see the dimension and texture better:

Thank you my friend

Busy day in the kitchen planned today - popping in quick to enter this card below into the following challenges:

Passion for Markers - Think Pink

The Paper Players #779 - Tic Tac Toe (I used die cut, ribbon/twine, sentiment)

My papers are from Authentique, an old 6x6 pad I had in my stash with all black and white and pink papers, so pretty! I die cut the tag from kraft cardstock and die cut the flower from the coordinating DP. I stamped the sentiment on the tag with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, added some sparkly little rhinestones, then tied a pink satin ribbon through the tag. Peace.

Bring Something Special

I cannot believe March is almost over! I have one more card to share with the music themed March release stencils from:

This one is called Music Elements - you can use code JennFan10 to get 10% off your entire order at the shop!

I painted some Lindy's Magicals mixed with water through the stencil, then used the same colors on a separate sheet of watercolor paper to die cut the arched frame from. I traced a few of the musical notes from the stencil on the arch with a fine tip black acrylic pen. I stamped the girl from Mama Elephant's Girl Group with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored her with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dots.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Lil Red Wagon #851 - It's Still Rock and Roll to Me

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

Make My Monday - Hobbies (singing!)

As You Like It - Fave Embellishments (and why - I love die cuts because they are so versatile and can be used for so many things!)

Thanks for visiting! Peace.

Of Course I Talk to Myself

I was inspired to play in my art journal by this challenge so I want to squeeze one more in for the:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Let's Art Journal

I started with some white Gesso on the page, let it dry. I then ink blended some Broken China Distress Oxide ink all over the page. I applied some TCW Pearl White Stardust Butter through a Tim Holtz stencil in the corners, then added some Shiny Bauble Mica Spray to that with a baby wipe and let dry. I stamped the alphabet stamp (Hero Arts) with a permanent black ink and attached the dragonfly sticker. I flicked a bit of black ink on it and added the snarky sentiment from a Tim Holtz sticker book. Peace.

One Kind Word...

I never cared for making clean and simple cards until I stumbled across the CAS on Friday challenge blog. For some reason, the DT's cards inspired me and I started playing along. I also like that you can only enter one card - it makes me try to do my absolute best work before I submit it to them! LOL I hope this one is worthy - I had fun making it! I'll enter it into the following challenges:

Clean and Simple on Friday #330 - Spring

Let's Craft & Create #229 - AG/Optional Purple & Green

Try it on Tuesday - Spring

Art Nudge March #0326C

I had this pretty stack of books with flowers image in my stash, so I apologize that I cannot give credit to the artist/company (if you know, let me know and I'll update!). I colored it with Copics and attached it to the back of the Polaroid die cut frame that I had sponged with black ink. I printed the sentiment from the Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends sentiment pack at Polkadoodles and colored it in with a coordinating Copic, the die cut it with a rounded edge rectangle nesting die and attached with foam dots. Peace.

wtf?

Sunny skies but high of 33 today - brrrrr! Not quite grilling weather yet, so I made a roast chicken dinner yesterday. Today, I'll make my infamous Leftover Casserole. LOL I started doing this with Thanksgiving many years ago when my kids were little. I take everything that's left over and throw it in a casserole dish - top it with the mashed potatoes, gravy, and some shredded cheese. No one gets to pick what I put in it - it all goes in. Everyone loves it every time. My husband (anti-vegetable man) was the biggest skeptic but even he admits it's delicious every time. ;) So I'm looking forward to that, our friend Tim is coming over to spend the afternoon with us. Tim has been one of my very best friends since we were about 15, he's good for my soul. And I lucked out that him and my husband became good friends too!

Neglected Stuff Challenge - March Anything Goes

Time Out #309 - In the Clear

My neglected stuff is both the paper (Carta Bella, at least 15 years old!) and the cell phone die, I do not even remember who made it, I'm sorry! I stamped the images (from the Simon Says Stamp Texting stamp set) on the background, used a piece of acetate for the window and made a little shaker card. Side note: I hate making shaker cards. LOL They NEVER work perfectly for me. Little pieces ALWAYS end up falling out! But it still looks cute and I was pleased with the cell phone! Peace.
