Friday Spyday #6

It's another Friday Spyday at the Farm Fresh Challenge blog!  This week is a lovely card by theredhairedgirl. 

theredhairedgirl's card

I am sticking to the Twilight theme.  This card features Whisper White, Basic Black and DP from Hobby Lobby.  The red satin ribbon is from Michael's.  The images are TGF's Wild Sprouts Logan and Wild Sprout Jade and are colored in copic.  Jade is from the Roll Call Kit.  I stamped Logan's hoodie on black cardstock in Whisper White, masking the bottom portion, then using a gel pen to finish the "robe".  It took a little work to set the robe over Jade and I had to cut her pigtails, sigh.  If you haven't figured it out - they are Jane and Alec Volturi.  Yea, Alec should have had brown hair, but I didn't think of it until I had already colored...oh well.  The characters are mounted on Nestabilities scalloped circle and oval cuts.  The background behind the characters is from New Moon and features Jane and Alec ("They send you out for one and you come back with two...and a half....Well done.")!  The finishing touch is three mini silver brads on the opposite corners.  Be sure to head over to the TGF Farm Fresh Challenge blog and play along.  Thanks for looking!  April

November Retro-Fresh Challenge

 It's time for another Farm Fresh Retro-Fresh challenge!  This month, not only do we use a TGF stamp that is at least six months old, but use turquoise and berry pink colors.  I am sticking with using Twilight-inspired Wild Sprouts Ebony and Hugh. 
The base is Tempting Turquoise with layers of Rich Razzleberry, bubble gum pink, and DP from my local scrap store.  The border punch is card suit from EK Success.  The image is colored in copic markers, then cut out with nestabilities.  I used some mini brads from SU and a bit of ribbon.  The sentiment is printed in Twilight font, punched with 1 3/8", 1 1/2" and scalloped circle punches, then mounted with dimensionals.  The card is called a "Joy Fold" card (tutorial on SCS).

Heart Journal - week 16

Yay, I'm ahead of the curve this week!  Missing the deadline last week has had me falling all over not to miss another one.  This week is "Heart to Heart" - create a spread using hearts or have a "heart to heart" with your soul.  Yea, not one of my preferences right now...it will only lead to ugly things. 
So here it is...
I printed the words to the new Christina Perri song "A Thousand Years" in Tall Paul font .  I cut a heart out of a sheet of paper to make a stencil, then inked with Soft Sky and Purely Pomegrante.  On the right side, I used CTMH's Brown Bag to ink the tree from SU's Season of Friendship.  The leaves are stamped in Whisper White craft, then embossed with Silver and Gold metallic embossing powder.  After the embossing set, I went back and stamped hearts from SU's Things I Love set in Purely Pomegrante.  Sweet and simple!  Thanks for looking!  April

Monday Funday #6

It's another Monday Funday at the TGF Farm Fresh Challenge blog!  This week's challenge is NO designer paper and use 1 ribbon. 
The base is Pool Party with layers of Whisper White and Wisteria Wonder.  The border is SU's lacy scallop border punch.  The image is from TGF's photopolymer clear "Tea-rrific" set and is stamped in Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Calypso Coral, and Island Indigo.  All the tea cups are mounted with dimensionals.  The sentiment is printed on cardstock, then punched with the word window punch.  I made a bow with a scrap of green satin ribbon, then used a silver mini brad through it to attach to the sentiment.  I pierced around the corners of the Whisper White, before mounting on the Pool Party base.  Hop on over to the TGF FFC blog and play along with us!  Thanks for looking!  April

Friday Spy-day with Danni!


Danni's card
This week's TGF Farm Fresh Friday Spy-day challenge is with Danni!  Be sure to hop on over to the TGF FFC blog to check out the samples and play along.  Don't you just love the rich paper...reminds me of origami paper! 

My base is cotton candy pink and is cut to a multi-panel card, like Danni's.  The layers are basic black and star print from Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby.  The image is TGF's Miss Anya Hats Off and is colored in copic markers.  I added a bit of glitter to the hearts on her hat.  Isn't she just sassy?  I added some bling around her.  The sentiment was printed on cardstock and mounted on a decorative label punch with dimensionals.  The glitter stars are from scraps of the designer paper, run upside down through a Xyron sticker maker, and coated with glitter.  Thanks for looking!  April
