The Greeting Farm - April Previews Day 3

Hello and welcome to the final day of The Greeting Farm April previews.  Today I'm sharing a card that features the new Tiny Plans SM stamp set!



There are so many great images and sentiments in this set!  It's perfect for your planners, but of course you can also use it for cards ;)  I sponged Distress Oxide Ink on a piece of Bristol card and then adhered a white cardstock frame.  I colored the sweet girls with copics, diecut them, and then adhered them with foam tape.  I also stamped some of the sentiments from the set on the background of the card. 

Be sure to stop by Monday, April 15, for our Blog Hop!  Meanwhile, be sure to visit The Greeting Farm Blog to see what the rest of our team made with this adorable stamp set!

Thanks for stopping by. 


Hugs, Anita

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing another card using stamps by My Favorite Things. 



These sweet animals are from the BB Somebunny stamp set and I followed the MFT Color Challenge #114 for my color palette.  I used the Mini Clouds Edge Stencil and distress ink to create the pink clouds.  Next I used the Stitched Snow Drifts Dienamics to cut a piece of cardstock that I sponged with green distress ink for the grassy area.  I colored the images with copics and diecut them.  I used a black glaze pen on the bunny's and chicks' eyes and  the buttons on the bunny's dress.  I used a white gel pen to make polka dots on the bunny's collar and pockets.  I adhered the images with foam tape and then adhered the white frame that I diecut using the Single Stitch Line Rectangle Frame Dienamics.  

Copics Used:
Bunny - W5, W3, W1, R20
Dress - RV55, RV63, RV52, RV10

Create A Smile Stamps - Crafty Friends

Good morning!  We have a new challenge today over on the Create A Smile Stamps Blog.


Our new challenge is "Crafty Friends" so of course I reached for the Stampingfriends stamp set.  I used the Cool Cuts Scalloped Rectangle to cut a piece of Bristol card, sponged it with Work Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink, and flicked on some water with a paintbrush.  I stamped the images on Neenah cardstock, colored them with my copics, and then used my Scan N Cut.  I applied Nuvo Winter Blizzard Glitter Drops to the sequins and then added a layer of Nuvo Crystal Glaze to make them sparkle and shine.  The sweet sentiment is also from the same stamp set.

Copics Used:
Marker - C3, C1; BG05, BG01, B000
Scissors - C3, C1; BG05, BG01, B000
Sponge Tool - E27, E25, E23, E21; C7, C5, C3; BG05, BG01, B000
Ink Cube - C7, C5, C3; BG05, BG01, B000
Sequins - B000
I hope you find some time to play along in the challenge.  The winner receives a gift card to the shop!  You can find all the challenge details on the Create A Smile Blog.  If you don't currently own any Create A Smile stamps, you can use a freebie from their blog!
