Day 3 Release Preview and a FFF!

Happy Farm Fresh Friday farmers! You know what that means, a new challenge and some good ol inspiration from TGF's fabulous DT. But wait, you're in for a double treat, two for the price of one because we also have our final release preview today too! So break out your ribbons and lace and get girly cause this week's FFF is Ribbons or Lace! I was super excited about the double day so I decided to double up and do two projects, one a bit different than a card. To show just how versatile TGF stamps are, I have a project to show you as well as a card. Ladies and gents, last but most certainly not least in line up full of regalia and charm, I give you the Dollie grown ups won't want to wait to play with, Dollie With Kitty

For the card I used some Bo Bunny paper from the Enchanted garden collection and colored Dollie up with my copics. to match the distressed look of the papers I used the deckled edge rectangles from spellbinders and inked it with some TH distress ink in the color Old Paper. Sticking with the Farm Fresh Friday theme of Ribbons or Lace I used a lacy doily paper punch and also a strip of purple ribbon. As mentioned, you can use either or you don't have to incorporate both but I thought they complimented each other so well. A few pearls and this card was good to go! I had so much fun figuring out how to color this stamp's curly locks and where the shadows and shine should lie. I don't think I've had that much fun coloring in my adult life! For my second project, I decided to give it an Alice in Wonderland look to fit my Queen of Hearts Frou Frou card from earlier this week, fun huh? I also used this as an excuse to give my prismas some exercise since I don't really use pencils. If you'd like to know how I created this ornament I will do a post explaining my technique pretty soon so say tuned! Now that you've had a look at my Dollies, don't forget to stop by The Greeting Farm and link up to play along and get some more inspiration from those gals on the DT. This release is so glam, I just know there's gonna be some midnight orders for this release on the 1st! See you guys tomorrow for the hop!

TGF March Preview: HG Classy

Its Thursday farmer friends you know what that means, day 2 of previews! And Check out the new banner, isn't it gorgeous?! That's not the only thing new 'round here, have you seen today's preview over at The Greeting Farm? As always the upcoming releases are must haves and number two up in the Release Preview Lineup is a cutie you may recognize from her digi days. Now available in rubber, and ready for tea time, Miss HG Classy

Can you stand the cuteness?! Doesn't she look so elegant with her little hat and tea cup? I thought for such a delicate looking stamp I should use a delicate looking medium so on my first card I used my distress inks to watercolor HG Classy in a no line painting technique seen here. I loved the way the no line watercolored image looked so much that I decided to do a no line coloring with my copics as well for my second card. The papers I used are from DCWV and the flowers I ordered from I am Roses (used my distress markers and a water brush to dye the flowers). Have you checked out the rest of the projects from the DT? If not, head over to The Greeting Farm and see what those talented DT gals have to inspire you, see you there and remember, the March release will be available in the store Sunday, March 1st! Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for the final release preview and again on Saturday for the release hop!!!

TGF Preview Day 1: Frou Frou Royal

Happy Hump day farmers! Today's a special treat, day one in the TGF March release preview and are you in for a "royal" treat! First up in the release is Ms Frou Frou Royal

As soon as I saw her, the first thought that came to mind was: Queen of Hearts! I've been in a really wonderland-ish mood lately (you'll see what I mean on Friday) and this stamp just screamed Queen of hearts so I pulled out my red and grey copics and went to town! I think she came out just fab and I'll admit she had me stumped for a while on what to do with her hair but in the end it came together wonderfully and a few choice dies were all I really needed to compliment this large stamp. I really can't wait to play with her again and I know you guys will love what the other gals have cooked up for inspiration so don't forget to head over to The Greeting Farm's blog and have a look! Remember, this entire release will be available for purchase Sunday, March 1st at the store. As usual though, before the official release, we're having a blog hop where one lucky winner will have a shot at winning the entire release!!! Be sure to stop by and leave all the ladies some love and I hope to see you guys there!
