Wild Flower Wednesday-Crackled Angel

2010-09-29T02:10:00.001-05:00

Hey everyone!

Today is another Wild Flower Wednesday challenge for The Wild Flower Patch! This weeks challenge is Cracked glass technique. Oh boy...lol...I don't have ANY clear embossing powder! I looked around on Splitcoaststampers.com to see if anyone used Crystal effects to do the same technique and most failed when trying. I tried anyways haha. Took me forever to try to dry the CE and it didnt freeze it got mushier! So DONT use Crystal effects! :) I inked up Angel Poppy {Only 3 bucks at the Wild Flower Kids Store!!} wings to make a crackle-y effect and covered with crystal effects just plain. It is better than nothing :D

I colored the rest of Poppy with Derwent colored pencils and made a non traditional colored Christmas card with some BasicGrey Eskimo kisses dp and embellies.

The sketch is from MOJO monday #158.

Hope its okay!

Stamps Used: Poppy Angel digi-Wild Flower Kids
Paper Used: White, aqua mist-Papertrey Ink, dp-Eskimo Kisses BasicGrey

The Greeting Farm has the right MOVES!!!

2010-09-10T00:01:00.004-05:00

Happy Friday!

It has been one HECTIC week for me! School starting for my kiddos, ALL of them! Drama, money issues, bills and even a bday thrown in for good measure lol! life is exciting!

Anyways this week we at The Greeting Farm are challenging you to MOVE something on your CARD! (you minnesotans probably know the Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial, "Let me see you MOVE something" LOL!)

I was feeling in a halloween-y mood and colored up this ADORABLE Penny Witch digi! She is colored with my Derwent colored pencils. I went to Splitcoaststampers.com (my FAV website) to find a moving technique and found a Surprise pop-up card tutorial found here! It was pretty easy, whew! :) I used some Eerie BG dp and a bit of Papertrey Ink ribbon and cardstock to finish this card.
Hope you like it!!

I colored her with my colored pencils by Derwent and all the DP is cosmo cricket Joy Ride line. I used MOJO monday sketch 155 {Yes I alter from the sketch a bit} for my inspiration. This weeks challenge is Scallops and buttons so I added scalloped edges and a button on my bow.

I have colored this sweet ducky with my Derwent colored pencils and used Papertrey Ink DP. This image seems to say little baby card to me but I went with a sentiment from Unity "Embrace each moment" I thought it was fitting since he is covering himself up from the rain but is still smiling! :)

Farm Fresh Friday Color Challenge!!

2010-08-20T00:00:00.002-05:00

Happy Friday to all!!

I am back today with my Farm Fresh Friday post for The Greeting Farm!! This week Melyssa has given us a color challenge! Hawaiian Shores-PTI, Tangerine Tango and Kiwi Kiss-SU!

This was quite a tough one for me!! These are not colors I use very often lol!

Here is my try at it though :D

I used Randy with a Flower digi from Marina Neira for The Greeting Farm. He was so much fun to color! I used the primary challenge colors to color his clothes and hat. I cut out Randy with my Circle Nesties and then glued the hat on top of the cut out image! My lovely friend Donna does that quite often and need to give her credit for that idea! :D {Thanks chicka}
I used Kiwi Kiss cardstock, and DP from Cosmo Cricket Joy Ride. Randy was colored with my Derwent Colored pencils. Sketch is Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #87!! Love them!

Hope you all like it!

Stamps Used: Randy w/ Flower-Marina Neira for The Greeting Farm
Paper Used: Spring Moss, white-Papertrey Ink, DP Cosmo Cricket Joy Ride
Accessories Used: Colored pencils-Derwent, Spring moss ribbon-PTI, OMS, blending stumps, circle nesties, button

Thanks so much for stopping by today!! Hope you come visit The Greeting Farm blog and play along!! Go and check out the rest of the DT!!!
