Peace, Love and Greeting Farm Stamps...




This is H& G Peace from the Greeting Farm stamps. I think she is adorable. I saw this stamp and new I had to tye dye a coffee filter with ink for the background to showcase this cutie. I used copics to colour her and I purposely made her a little dirty...those hippies back then were usually dirty..lol...I embossed and stamped some mushrooms and added a metal one to. Some inking, a cute frog mini stamp for the background and I used appliques because there were never enough of those back then...The stick is a real twig, some stickles, and a few well placed plastic embellishments and flowers and there you have it...my version of H&G Peace.
Peace Love& Happiness everyone....la la la la live for today....

I made three different slight variations of them per each person....hope they like them...now to package the lollipop flowers...

Kitty on window ledge...


This is a favourite character of mine from Penny black...can't get enough of the cuddly, chubby, fluffy kitty. This is a card in honour of Vithecat who would love a window ledge of her own.
I embossed the image, used copics for colouring, glossy accents on the window. Some ribbon, stamped and coloured kitty twice added some pop dots, a sentiment and there you have it...thanks for looking.

Shut up and Colour...





lol sorry...I really don't mean that it just came out....sometimes I feel like shouting this though when people are so self absorbed or grumpy. Those who are so involved with themselves they can't see past their own nose...or when I watch the news and people are doing such insane actions...Just Shut up and colour, you'll forget what you were mad about...while your at it share your crayons with a kid and feel the magic....

The story behind this shadow box starts with a great friend going on a wonderful trip ...a true trip of a lifetime. She thought of me on this trip and I believe it was in Turkey that she had handmade paper made in front of her. There she thought of me and bought me these amazing crayons as a gift.
I could not bring myself to use them and they were just to pretty to sit in a container so here is my tribute to colours, friendship, travel, and art....thank you Suzanne you always help me see the creative side.....The pictures do not do it justice but I just cannot get a good shot in...sorry.

Presenting Superstar Anya from Greeting Farm stamps...







I had so much fun making this card and watching this stunning little Anya Super star Greeting Farm stamp come to life...She just sparkles. She is so ready for the stage and the party after....
I embossed the stamp then used copics for the face, hair and outfit. I used pink flocking over black copic markers for the coolest effect on her boa..it shows a bit in the picture but there is texture there...I used stickles in her hair, on her glasses, her shoes and on the skulterfly. I also used four Brads to spell STAR around her image and I used some felt ribbon for the background. I embossed the whit cardstock for added effect and used some scoring around the edges or the cards and of course inking all over the place. If you double click on the picture it will enlarge it to show the detail of her hair...wish it was mine...lol
Thanks for coming to peek do let me know what you think ...helps to keep me motivated...
My plan is to enter her on the Anya blog for the mystery Monday challenge which was to use and Anya or Ian Stamp using the 3 colours pink, black, white and 3 embellishments...

I have enough left over to do another page and I can not wait to put that one together also...Ladies if you looking you should recognize your work...Lisa your frame with fire made of flower petals...I loooove it...An owl journaling card thanks Rhonda...the license plate is so cute and perfect for this picture ...thank you Michelle...If you double click on the picture you can make it larger to see the great detail of these ladies work...and the cute mosquito stamp...lol

I loved making the tent and I used my stampin up roller for the edge at the bottom under the ribbon. Some distressing, pop dotting, matting and few store bought stickers and there you have a great summer of camping....show cased beautifully....
