TGF Farm Fresh Friday Challenge: Water coloring with pencils!

 

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!  This week's  Farm Fresh Friday Challenge is to Use Pencils!  

I have a few cards to share for some inspiration...

So to be honest, I have not had much practice in coloring with pencils and in fact, I only own like 2 colored pencils! Lol  So I knew this was definitely going to be a challenge for me.   I didn't want to buy a new set (although I have been eyeing those Prisma sets for some time!) but instead found some old water color pencils I had not used in forever!   I had so much fun taking these out to play!  I basically just colored up my images and then took a small paintbrush and some water to blend in the colors.  I tried to shade the best I could although it's not as easy as with my copics.   Still, I'm really happy with the way they came out and I made two cards just because I was having so much fun! :)   The sweet girl I used is from the adorable Wild Child set.   And yes, I'm still on my background kick and used some distress inks and water to make the backgrounds on my cards.  I thought this tied in well with my water colored image! :)  

Please check out The Greeting Farm blog to get the details on this challenge and to see what the other "Pencil" projects from the DT Farmers!  Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: You're Wildly Amazing Tag

Hello Friends!  I have some Saturday inspiration today!!!  Here is something I made to share with you all...

So this week is actually Teacher's Appreciation week for two of my kids and there were lots of school events going on.  I wanted to make a fun tag for my son, Noah's teacher to add to her teacher's present!  This cutie is from the new Wild Child stamp set by The Greeting Farm!  This is my favorite set from the new TGF May release and I was so excited to see it in the Loves Rubberstamps store as a new release item! :)   I colored this adorable image (one of 2 cuties in the stamp set) with my Copic Markers.  Now I probably wouldn't have picked this color for her hoodie, but this teacher loves lime green! :)   I actually love the bright colors on this tag!  I used an asian inspired theme by stamping some bamboo in the background and then also adding a charm which says "Trust" on one side and has the words in chinese on the flip side.   I also added some pretty cherry blossoms and a small lime colored rose from Wild Orchid Craft flowers, some Prima pearls and some ribbon from my stash.   The fun tag I used as a base is actually from the new Prima mixed media doll tag pad Handcock Park.  I just cut it down a bit to fit on the gift bag.

Here are the Supplies Used:

Wild Child - The Greeting Farm

Prima mixed media doll tag pad Handcock Park

Shabby Shutters - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Black Tuxedo -Memento Ink

Copic Markers

Wild Orchid Craft flowers

Have a wonderful weekend!

If you are looking for my Loves Rubberstamps Challenge post, please click here!

Hello Friends and welcome back to another May Preview Day at The Greeting Farm!!! Today is Preview Day #2 and do you remember my hint of "What did the Fox say?" :)  Well one of the images from today's stamp set reminded me of that!

Introducing the adorable "WS Wild Child"!!!

Here's my card for you today... 

So I couldn't decide which image to use so I used both!!! :)  I also kept this card pretty simple with a CAS style.  I loved this set the minute I saw it but these adorable cuties are continuing to grow on me so much!  I also love all the fun sentiments that come with this awesome stamp set.

"WS Wild Child" will be released at The Greeting Farm store on 5/1/2014.  Please check out The Greeting Farm Blog and all of the DT blogs to see their beautiful creations!  Each day, they will be giving away the preview stamp of that day so make sure to leave comments as you visit so that you can own this fun stamp set!
