TGF FFF Challenge: No Colouring

Hey Everyone!

I'm back today with another Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over at the TGF Blog!

This week, Showcase Farmer Thanh is challenging us to create a project with NO COLOURING!

Yes, folks, this was a bit of a tough one but, I got around it by paper-piecing instead...

Here's what I created:

I used the Sitting Cute and Sitting Casual stamp sets from The Greeting Farm.  I paper-pieced the couch image using papers from the MME Miss Caroline Dolled Up 6x6 Paper Pad.   I cut out a piece of PTI Rustic White Cardstock with Spellbinders Labels 10 and sponged it using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Pumice Stone.   Next, I mounted the paper-pieced couch over the label.  I stamped the sentiment from Sitting Casual using SU! Classic Ink in Basic Gray.  Finally, I added a doily along with some flatback pearls and rhinestones from Pizzazz Aplenty, and voila!

Anyway, I hope you will join us over at the TGF Blog to see more inspiration from the rest of the team.  I can't wait to see what you can create without colouring!

Happy Stamping!

Sitting Cute with TGF!

Hello, my friends!

Today, I have a cute springtime card to share with you!

Since Spring has arrived, the air is warmer and the sun has been showing it's face, lately, in the Vancouver area.  That being said, I was in the mood to make something bright & cheery!

Here it is:

As some of you know, I once lived in Japan teaching English and still have some friends who I've kept in touch with all of these years.  Last summer, I went to Japan for nearly a month to visit old friends and do some sight-seeing that I never got to do while I lived there!  I stayed with my dear friend, Aya, that entire time and this card is for her!  She came out to visit me back in 2005, soon after I had moved back to Canada from Japan....and you never know, but, MAYBE (fingers crossed), this card will inspire her to visit me in Vancouver again!  It truly is an AMAZING city in a STUNNING province and there is still SO much that I have to show her!

Anyway, onto how I made the card....

It is pretty straight-forward but, I used the gal from The Greeting Farm's new Sitting Cute set which I coloured with Copics (Y21, Y23, Y26, E50, E51, E53, R00, R02, R24, R27, R29, B95, B97, B99).  The bench, which I paper-pieced with woodgrained patterned paper, is from Sitting Lovely!  I created a scene using Spellbinders Labels 17, Spellbinders Classic Circles, and the MFT Die-namics Fresh Cut Grass Die.  All of the patterned papers are from the MME On The Bright Side ONE 6x6 paper pad.  After assembling everything, I mounted it all on a card base cut from PTI Rustic White cardstock and I added a seam binding bow and fastened a button and tag (Spellbinders Tags Trio, sponged with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Crushed Olive) using some baker's twine in Maraschino from The Twinery.  The sentiment, from Flourishes Windows to the World, was originally one line but, to make it fit, I selectively inked it with SU! Classic Ink in Poppy Parade and stamped it in two lines instead.

Well, thank you SO much for stopping by....

I hope you enjoyed your stay!

Happy Stamping!
