Late New Year's Challenge Cards

So, The Greeting Farm issued 12 challenges on New Year's Day and I had such big plans to do them all...Well, I managed to do 2 of them. And then I didn't get pictures taken of them in time to upload and enter the contest! Oh, Well, I had a lot of fun making them, which is why I do this card making thing anyway!

The first one is for Melyssa's Tag challenge. If you come here very often you might remember me talking about trying to use some of the much loved paper that I have been scared to use? Well, these tags came with the pack of Basic Grey Lilly Kate line. All of the tags were still there, almost all of the paper is whole...I am really working on this!! I turned Dress Me Anya into an Elf princess by using Amy's method of altering to wipe away a little section and draw some pointy ears. (Amy's tutorial is HERE.)


The Details:
Stamps: Dress Me ANya, Anya Says - The Greeting Farm
Paper: Basic Grey, Pink Pirrouette, Lavender Lace - SU, PaperTreyInk White
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Vanilla Craft Ink
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20

The other challenge card that I got done was Kadie's Sew Satisfying challenge - to use sewing on your card. The challenge actually said to use sewing in a " fun and/or surprising way" which really threw me, but then I decided I have never hand sewn on felt before (and now we can all see that my hand sewing skills are sadly lacking!) I punched the shapes using my Spellbinders flower dies - they did not always go all of the way through, even with a shim. Most only needed a few little snips with the scissors to finish them up, though.

Frost Fairy

Hi! How are you all? I feel like I haven't posted in forever. I guess it has just been a few days, but I try to always post something Monday through Friday. I don't know what is going on but I sit and look at my stamps and have no idea what I want to do. Usually when I get like this, some new paper or a new do-dad gets me all excited again, but I don't even have the urge to go craft shopping!! I decided to pull out some of my favorite Greeting Farm images to see if that helped and I at least ended up with a card! I used the sketch from Christmas Stamping All Year Long, although I left off the sentiment. I like to think of this as my little "Frost Fairy"!


The Details: Flutter-By - The Greeting Farm
Paper: Imaginisce, GinaK Base weight White, PTI White.
Copics:
Skin: E11,E13,E15,R22
Hair and Clothes: BG000, B000, B01
Misc: Recollections Brads, Taylors Tiny Twinkles, Silver Stickles, Martha Stewart Snowflake punch, Spellbinders Create a Flake 1.

Thank you for visiting! I always appreciate any comments you choose to leave!

Show Some Anya Spirit !!

Hi! It is day 2 of our Week of Challenges at Club Anya and today is my Challenge day! I started thinking about school starting and one of my daughter's favorite times at school is "Crazy Hair Day" during spirit week, so I decided to make mine a "Crazy Hair Day" challenge. That can be anything from coloring Anya (or Ian's) hair an unusual color, altering the hair, or just doing something unexpected to make"crazy hair"!

I decided to play with eyelets (boy, I have tons of them and don't ever use them anymore!) and some copper jewelry wire. The sentiment is from my stack of rub-ons (retired SU in this case) that I am trying to use now. If you saw my previous post about the old rub-ons that didn't want to adhere and I got you all worried about hoarding the rub-ons you'll be happy to know these went on with no problems!

The Details:
Stamp: Flutterby - The Greeting Farm
Paper: Basic Grey, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue - SU, PTI White
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair: R27
Wings: B32,B34,T0,B95,B97,B99
Clothes: YR21,YR14,YR15,YR16,YR18


Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Blog Hop!

Hello! As you are reading this I am hopefully hopping along, seeing all kinds of wonderful cards and getting lots of inspiration!


My last card for the Greeting Farm Sneak Peek is the wonderful, fabulous, Flutter By Anya! Isn't she ADORABLE!? Marie is SO talented and I swear she see's into my mind and heart to make the images that make me happiest! My little Flutter By is mounted on DP from DCWV. The blue butterflies are punched with a Martha Stewart punch. The buttons were almost the right shade, but not quite so I used my Copic markers in the same shade that I used on Anya to make them coordinate. The flowers are Prima and the sentiment comes from the Susie Suprise set (also by The Greeting Farm). I colored her with Copics:

Skin: E00,E11,RV21
Hair: RV21,RV23,RV25,RV29
Clothes: YG03,YG23,YG17, C3
Wings: Y02,Y08,Y15,B01,B02,B04
