Greeting Farm Cards

I've been a busy crafter of late. Not only have June projects been in the works, along with some other CTMH projects for convention, but I've also had some knit-for-hire and scrapbook-for-hire jobs come up.

One sweet customer commissioned a set of 12 greeting cards using the stamp with Anya holding an umbrella from The Greeting Farm. I also used the Cosmo Cricket Early Bird papers, and CTMH stamps and embellishments. I was so pleased with how these came out that I think I might need a set for me!

Greeting Farm Digi Relay day 2

Here's my card for day 2 of the challenge!  This little diva's name is "Charlotte".  Isn't she cute!!!  She reminds me of my little Ruru.

Supplies are spellbinders, copics, CTMH inks in Blush and Baby Pink (for sponging), CTMH dimensional hearts and rub-ons, scrap paper, and dew drops in clear.

Greeting Farm Digi Relay day 1

TGF is having a digi relay challenge this week.  On Sunday they gave out  a digi stamp for free.  Anyone who makes and posts a card using that stamp by this evening (6 pm central time) gets Monday's digi free.  If you post a card using Monday's digi by 6 pm tomorrow, then you get Tuesday's digi free - and so on.

So this is my Valentine using Sunday's digi - Mer Ian.  It through me for a loop at first, but I'm pleased with the result.  I had to explain to dave the pun - "my FUNNY valentine" is a jazz song from a different musical era, and he hadn't heard of it.  :)  So there ya go...  I used my copics for coloring, my spellbinders for the circle and scallop layers, some random scraps for paper (including sea foam cs - an ancient CTMH retiree).  I embellished with CTMH dimensional elements hearts, waxy flax and mini sparkles.

Fairy Anya

I watched a fun tutorial the other day on shading hair like the pros using copic markers.  I'm not even CLOSE to that, but I had fun practicing the techniques from the video on this Fairy Anya.

I also used some new papers from the Spring 2010 CTMH Idea Book called Veranda.  I absolutely *LOVE* this paper pack.  I've already gone through a full pack and the new book doesn't even come out until January 1.  Just one more reason it's awesome being a consultant!

The "have a fairy happy birthday" stamp is from Stamping Bella and is one of their sentiments.
