Farm Fresh Friday

TGIF peeps! Still under the weather here so I gotta keep this post short and get back to bed. One thing is for certain though, under the weather or not, the snow is melting the birds are back and spring is most definitely here. With the pretty blue sky returning, we just couldn't help ourselves over at The Greeting Farm so this week's challenge is Spring Colors! So even though the temperature is still below freezing, here's my fun bright card to welcome the change of season

Garden Anya

I used Garden Anya paired with some flowery springy paper from Doodlebug designs called Hello Spring (go figure huh?) and a new climbing vine die from cottage cutz I got specifically for the spring season, isn't it adorable? I colored Ms Anya up on Cryogen white cardstock with my copic markers and some stickles glitter glue. The sentiment I used is part of the Delicate Words die set released by The Greeting Farm a few years back and its also been stickled like crazy. I used a scrap of purple ribbon from my stash and a flower that I recolored with my copics to match, for a little embellishment. Don't forget to stop by The Greeting Farm for more springtime fun colors and inspiration from the DT!

Lots-O-Love

Blue and Green with Envy

Hello everybody out there in blog land! Its been a beautiful day today after about 3 days of off and on  thunderstorms. The grass should be nice and green and overgrown by the end of the week at this rate, guess who's not cutting it! I'll give you a hint, IT'S ME! I'm NOT cutting it! lol In the spirtit of loving all things growing lush and green I am loving this week's DTT, now called Garden Variety Tuesday. Its a color challenge, which happens to be my favorite kind of challenge, using the colors blue and green! Without further ado, my entry:

 Garden Anya

I've been seeing 3d paper piecing popping up all over the place so I decided to give it a shot...NEVER again! ok I exaggerate maybe one day eventually possibly again but no time soon! This was a headache and I'm sure I was just overthinking everything but this was so difficult for me. pretty much every piece of Garden Anya was cut out and layered on top of another to give this (very slight : \ ) 3d effect. This literally took me hours to do and I'm not all that pleased with the way it turned out  but it was certainly a learning experience. Miss anya was colored with prisma color pencils on kraft cardstock and stickled with crystal stickles. The flowers were a free gift with my purchase from i am roses. In addition to the Garden Variety Tuesday challeng over at splendid stamping I also plan to enter this in the Simon Says... Flower Power! Challenge  . OMG I could do an entire blog entry about the awesome service, quick shipping/delivery, wonderful packaging and quality beautiful products they sell, this was my first of many more soon to come transactions with them and all I can say is WOW! be prepared to see many more flowers on my cards they have a customer for LIFE! If you're into flowers I highly recomend buying from them!
