Pumpkin Spice Season ~ Miss Anya Coffee Break ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend! 

I am so ready for Fall and all the pretty colors that come with it!! The temperatures are teasing of the upcoming cooler days and it can't come quick enough for me. In my continual effort of inking up stamps that haven't seen ink yet, I inked up one of the adorable Miss Anya's from Miss Anya Coffee Break.

I found this adorable stamp in my stash and she just needed to see some ink! Unfortunately, I can't seem to find Miss Anya Coffee Break on the website. But if you'd like to add her to your collection, you can check out the Farmers Market and submit a request via email... maybe she'll be available for the next Farmers Market. Fingers crossed!

I inked up the adorable Miss Anya with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her up with Copic markers. I fussy cut her on the line and then I used a Memento Tuxedo Black marker to color the edges of my fussy cutting. This makes the fussy cutting look nice and neat. I also stamped the stack of cups and later decided to add a pumpkin because I wanted to use a sentiment that was more fitting for Fall. I chose the super sweet Pumpkin Spice Season stamp set for the pumpkin and the sentiment. Unfortunately, this cute set is also not available right now. {Here's the >>> Farmers Market <<< link again just in case you want to submit a request for this one!} I colored up the pumpkin and fussy cut it and then I adhered Miss Anya to the pumpkin and added foam tape to the back of both of them. I also popped up the stack of cups and the sentiment using foam tape.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R00, R20

Hair: N0, N2, N4

Bow: YR20, YR15

Coat: C0, C2, YR20, YR15

Dress: YR20, YR15, YR68, R14, E21, E23

Boots: E21, E23

Cups: C0, C2, BG000, BG01, BG72, E000, E00

Pumpkin: YR20, YR15, YR68, E21, E23

I paired up Miss Anya Coffee Break with some fun plaid papers from my stash. Aren't they just wonderful for a Fall card?! Adding the mat in between my plaids separates them enough that they look nicely together. I cut my bottom layer to 4 x 5-1/4" and the top plaid layer measures 2-3/4 x 4-1/4". The white mat measures 3 x 4-1/2" and the brown strip across the card measures 4-1/4 x 1-1/4". All my layers are adhered to a dark brown A2 top fold card base measuring 4-1/4 x 11"; scored at 5-1/2".

Have you had a pumpkin spice drink yet? I haven't just yet but I did find some yummy pumpkin spice almonds. So good! I finished off the card by adding a few copper sequins from my stash. I sure hope I've inspired you to get inky!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thanks ~ Miss Anya with Love ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a sweet thank you card featuring Miss Anya from the recently released Miss Anya with Love from The Greeting Farm! 

I paired up the beautiful Miss Anya with some pretty papers in my stash called Painted Crush from Ink N' Splatter. I've been pretty good about picking out my papers first and then coloring my stamped images but I colored this one first. So I found myself searching through my papers to find something that would work and I think these papers work very nicely.

I inked up Miss Anya with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her up with Copic markers. I fussy cut her on the line and then I used a Memento Tuxedo Black marker to color the edges of my fussy cutting. This makes the cutting look nice and neat.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R00, R20

Hair: Y21, E43, E44

Heart: R20, R14

Dress / Shoes: B000, B00

Brick: E11, E15, E97, E09

I die cut a circle from white card stock using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from Unity. It was a little too much white space behind Miss Anya so I blended some Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink focusing on the center of the circle and leaving white space around the outer edges. I adhered Miss Anya to the circle, along with the sentiment that I colored with R20 and R14. I popped up the circle and Anya with foam tape.

I finished off the card with a few glittery purple enamel dots. I love the touch of glitter and a bit more purple. I hope I've inspired you to get inky! Have a wonderful day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky Hugs,

Crystal

Hey Beautiful ~ Miss Anya Jeans ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a sweet and sunny card for any occasion!

I was looking through my collection of TGF goodies to see which stamps I've yet to ink up and the darling Miss Anya Jeans stamp set caught my eye. I just love inking up Miss Anya! She's so fun to color. I stamped her and the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her up with Copic markers.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, R00, R20

Mouth: R20, R14

I fussy cut Miss Anya on the line and then I used a Memento Tuxedo Black marker to color the edges of my fussy cutting. This makes the cutting look nice and neat.

I used some bright and sunny papers and ephemera from my stash to make a background for Miss Anya. I even added a white doily. I like how it frames her face.

I added a strip of black card stock to the bottom of my paper layer to ground Miss Anya. I had such a blast making this card. I'm definitely ready for some sunshiny days! I hope I've inspired you to get inky!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Miss Anya Red Carpet ~ Preview Day 3 ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's the final day of previews at The Greeting Farm for the February release! Introducing Miss Anya Red Carpet! She is so gorgeous and perfect for the red carpet.

Miss Anya is a star with this stamp set! I stamped her directly on my panel of white card stock and stamped her again on masking paper. After placing the mask over Miss Anya, I was then able to stamp the limousine over top making it appear as if it's behind her. If I had planned a bit more ahead I would have stamped the pup first, masked it and stamped Anya, masked her, and then stamped the limo... but I digress. LOL!

I stamped all the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them up with Copic markers. I also colored up a simple scene for my card using Copics.

 Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, R00, R20

Hair: Y21, E42, E43, E44

Dress / Shoes: RV10, RV02, RV23, RV14

Clutch: BG10, BG01, BG13

Rose: R20, R14, R37, YG11, YG63

Pup: C00, C2, R00, R20, RV10, RV02, RV23, RV14

Limo: N0, N2, N4, N6, C00, C2

Red Carpet: R20, R14, R37

Ground: N2, N3, N4

Sky: Y000, Y11

Stars: Y11,Y15

I stamped the stars around Anya using Mustard Seed Distress Ink... a safe ink for Copic coloring. I die cut the panel with the Big and Little Chain Rectangle dies from Gina Marie Designs. I fussy cut the pup on the line and colored the edges of my fussy cutting with a black marker. I also fussy cut the rose but I left a thin border around the edges.

I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it and adhered it to the card. So fun! The release goes live in the store on the 15th at 12am EST! Woohoo!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
