Farm Fresh Friday GOES GREEN!

Stamps: The Greeting Farm - "Ebony", "Dee Dee", "In the Spotlight"
Medium: Twinkling H20 watercolors

It's Farm Fresh Friday with THE GREETING FARM!

Challenge: GO GREEN!

In honor of Earth Day, TGF is celebrating GOING GREEN all weekend long! Use the color green, recycled products, grass, ...whatever you feel GETS YOUR GREEN on!

For my card today I used Twinkling H20 watercolors. I first embossed with black and then used 12 different shades of Twinkling H20s. I finished off my card with one of my fav's...WASHI TAPE!!

And, I am so excited to announce that...
Washi tapes are now available at The Greeting Farm!!!

Read about it at the blog here and shop here.



I also 'recycled' one of my old techniques...this was a pink version from my post here.

Joni's Mystery Monday Challenge at Club Anya

[click pics to enlarge]

Club Anya is now hosting Mystery Monday Challenges!
This week's challenge was hosted by the super talented Joni Wilson!

Joni's challenge was "JONI's RULE OF THREE'S".

1.) You must use these three colors: Pink, Black, and White
2.) You must use THREE different embellishments

For my 3 different embellishments I used rhinestones, pearls and Japanese washi tape.
And, I even used 3 Anyas. ;o)

I embossed first and then painted in with the Twinkling H2O's.

And, I just realized I forgot to go over Mermaid Anya's hair pearls with a darker color. Ugh. That's what I get for rushing!

Supplies:
Stamps:
The Greeting Farm- Mermaid Anya, Flutter Anya, Princess Anya
Luminarte Twinkling H2O's
Lindy's Stamp Gang EP: Midnight Violet Obsidian
Japanese washi masking tape
Papertreyink cardstock: Hibiscus Burst
Bling: Prima

Friends with Flair Friday at UNITY!

It's Friends with Flair Friday at Unity Stamp Co. again! Wow, the week just flies by!
See the Unity blog for a complete list of today's Friends with Flair.

I like to make backgrounds with the Cuttlebug embossing folders. I inked them up with various Versamagic and Brilliance Dew Drop ink pads. I love Brilliance ink!! It's very shimmery/metallic. I like to go over the embossed area with a lighter color like Brilliance Purple or Platinum Planet and then hit the edge with a darker color like Brilliance Crimson. I then embossed some sheets of Unity butterflies and punched out some hearts. Easy way to make some notecard sets.


Supplies:
Unity: Butterfly Beauty, Confession: I {luv} Unity
Cuttlebug embossing folders
Marvy heart punch
Brilliance ink
Ranger embossing powder: Liquid Platinum, Bronze


Recognize the tails on these mermaids? They are the umbrella tops from the Rain & Flowers set. I embossed then painted with Twinkling H2O's. I drew the rest by hand and added some Ice Stickles.

Supplies:
Unity: Rain & Flowers
Ice Stickles
Luminarte Twinkling H2O's
Lindy's Stamp Gang EP in Midnight Violet Obsidian
MS leaf punch, EK starfish punch

There's a special Friends with Flair blinkie hidden on one of today's participating blogs...find the blinkie and leave a comment and you could win 25 FREE Unity stamps!!
