Hi there! It's the final day of the new release sneak peaks for
The Greeting Farm! I am thrilled to show you Pirate Anya and Pirate Ian from the new set
Matey! Aren't they FANTASTIC!?! I loved these guys so much I had to make a card using each one, and I am in the middle of working on another one right now (well, until I stopped to post to my blog!) Hopefully I'll have it finished in time to show you at tonight's Virtual Stamping Luau at the
Club Anya PCP page (8 PM CST). For more details, you can check out the
Club Anya blog.
My first card, made with Pirate Anya uses DP from Creative Imaginations. I cut the treasure chest using my Cricut machine and the Paper Doll cartridge. It is colored with Copics and a gold leafing pen and layered on a piece of cardstock that is covered with different jewel colored seed beads and gold stickles. She is colored with Copics:
Skin:R00,E11,E13,R20,R22
Clothes:YR21,YR14,YR16,E21,E25,E27,E29,BG11,BG13,BG15
Hair:E02,E08,E09,E18
My second card, using Pirate Ian (isn't he just the cutest!?) also has DP from Creative Imaginations. The skull and crossbones for the Jolly Roger are cut with my Cricut and the Indie Art cartridge. Ian is colored with Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hat and Boots: E21,E25,E27,E29
Vest and Bandana: R24,R27,R29
Hair: E53,E55,E57
Pants:C5,C7,C9
Shirt: C1,C3
These cuties (along with the other new releases - Rain, Snow, Shine ; Hula Anya; and Surfer Ian) will be available after midnight tonight at The Greeting Farm!
If you haven't already had a chance to see what the other DT members have made with this set, you should head over to their blogs to have a look! They never fail to amaze me with their talent and creativity!
Michelle Oatman-Guest DesignerAs always, I am thrilled you stopped by to see what I have done! I hope to see you at the Luau tonight! (How often do you get to say that!?)

The first was a monochromatic challenge. I thoroughly admit I cheated! Mine is not-so-monochromatic! But I wasn't up for any prizes and I REALLY wanted red, too! If you read my blog very often, you may have seen my post about our local Ren-fair and the cards I made in honor of the Red, Green, and Blue courts. Well, we also have the Pirates Guild that puts on a Naughty, Bawdy Pirate show at the tavern and they are my favorite! They tend to dress in red, black, and white, so these are in honor of them! The DP on the pirate Ian card is from DCWV, and he is colored with Copics: (this is my first time coloring on ivory paper - Gina K - instead of white and it definitely took the color differently. It also seemed to feather a lot more, but I do like the end result.)

Isn't he adorable!? He is the new Surfer Ian (release date - May 15) from The Greeting Farm! I am so glad that my daughter has several friends that are boys because I LOVE the Ian stamps as much as the Anya's and that gives me a good reason to use Ian (Reasons? We don't need no stinking reasons! HA HA!) Ok, Sorry, I will try to control myself! This was just so much fun and I am a bit giddy!
I made my card a stair step card (Markie's Mom does a great tutorial). I thought it would be neat to have layers of waves and to have Ian riding them! The larger waves are punched with a Fiskars punch and glued to the front of the middle fold, then covered with a piece of embossed card stock, and the smaller waves are the pieces that were left behind after taking the big wave! The DP is from Paper Trunk and the sentiment is from the set Wardrobe #1 also from The Greeting Farm. Ian's surfboard has some Crystal Effects to make it nice and shiny and I popped him up on foam dots for dimension. Everything is colored with Copics:
This new stamp is called Hula Anya! Isn't she adorable!? I used my Cricut to cut out a Palm tree and some coconuts (it's from the Paper Doll cartridge. That one has a lot more than is shown on the box!) The DP is K&Company and I used Pink Passion SU card stock. Anya has Prima's over the stamped flowers for extra texture. I colored everything with Copics:
