The Greeting Farm - May Release & Blog Hop


It’s the 15th, and the MAY Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store. We are so excited to introduce dies back to the store and the 2 sets, HI/HELLO and THANK YOU, are sure to be a great addition to your collection. Many customers have asked for more big Anyas so we had to bring her back cuter than ever in our clear set called MISS ANYA CROP. Our 3rd set introduces a new character called MINKIE, and captures her in her daily life activities. Finally, we have POOL PARTY, and features my perfect summer activity....on an inner tube in a pool or lazy river! 
 
 
 

I used Pool Party for my card.  I inked a piece of Bristol card with distress inks to create the water in the swimming pool.  I diecut a piece of cardstock and used a colored pencil to make concrete blocks to resemble pavers around a pool.  I colored the images with copics and diecut them using my Scan N Cut machine.  I applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the sunglasses and the icy cold drinks.  I adhered the everything with foam tape.  It looks like these cuties are having a fabulous summer vacation!
