StampARTic second June challenge

StampARTic has as the second June challenge a call for "animals" in the design. Surprise, I went Greeting Farming again, I just can't get enough of this cute little lion! I had a long strip of cream card stock left over from cutting cards, and this little stamp goes well on long card I think :)



I know it looks a bit bland without embellishments, but as I don't have any that would fit the color scheme and I am much better at simplistic style, this is what you get :)

Vintage couple

I really love this Greeting Farm digital stamp 50's Sweethearts, she is so chick and he looks just like Fonzie :D This is for The Greeting Farm's no layers -challenge. No paper layers, just the card stock, which I false-layered by making a frame with Distress ink Vintage Photo, then stamping some background images within the frame. Buttons are Basic Gray.

Stamp - The Greeting Farm 50's Sweethearts (digital), Scrappy Cat flourishes
Ink - Distress Ink Vintage Photo
Papers - Cream colored card stock
Coloring - Watercolor pencils, Marvy Le Plume II felt pens
Other - Basic Gray buttons

Bear hugs!

Guess what, 2 challenges again! The sketch for this card is from Midnight Madness #5. I also hope to enter this to a new challenge blog called ISB-challenge, but I think I might have goofed as I did use other stamps than TGF.



And here is my take on it:



I love this set from the Greeting Farm - the stamps are so cute and fun to color! I stamped the little bear girl twice and layered her hair. She is colored with watercolor pencils - again - but used dry.

And one more for this evening!

At the Greeting Farm there's a black and white challenge with a sketch, and here's my entry:

Black and white was tough, but I think this 50's couple goes really well in a monochrome card :) They were fun to color too! I used watercolor pencils in 2 shades of gray and black for the coloring. The "Swing" is actually from the Wild Things -set. The b&w paper is a freebie from the wonderful Summer Driggs, from the Angel Mother -set - I just printed it in gray scale. Oh, and note the girl, she has some white Sakura Gel on her eye makeup :D

I continued the sketch to the inside too. Note the lovely ribbon - it is actually cut away from a top: you know those wide neck ones that have long loops attached so they can be hanged in the store without stretching...

ROAR!

For Simon Says Challenge the subject was "Animals!". This week I received my The Greeting Farm's Wild Things set - which I had to get just because of that wonderful lion and the "Roar"... Isn't she just the cutest thing... I stamped her twice and layered her hair.
