For my card today, I chose to use Blush Babette. Isnt she just adorable, so pretty with a touch of sass! I paired her up with some pretty Prima papers, just love the olive green and pink. I also used the sentiment, "Just Because" which comes with the stamp, such a deal and amazing set!
I colored Babette with copics.

Skin - E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20

Hair - E33, E31, YR21, YR20

Dress, shoes, and socks - R89, R87, R85, R81, RV10, R00, R01, R000

I cut the image out with my beaded ovals nesties and added some cream Viva Decor Pearl Pen around the edges to look like pearls and make it stand out a bit more.
I added some Prima flowers to the card also. I used Vintage Pink and Cherub Pink Glimmer Mist to color the flowers. The leaves are from Reccollections and I sprayed them with Olive Vine Glimmer Mist. I also used some Prima flower center pieces in the middle of my flowers, such a nice soft touch.

Thanks so much for the awesome welcome as a new TGF Farmer this past week. From here you need to hop on over to the amazing Kim Yu, where she has something amazing for you!! I can't believe we're already through with our first week of previews and I'll be seeing you VERY soon around blog land. Good luck to all who enter and ENJOY the JULY RELEASE at The Greeting Farm!

Summer Fun

Who's READY for some SUMMER FUN?!?

I am! I am! We heard ya over at The Greeting Farm, too, because Oliver and Amelia are already on the task at hand to bring YOU some SUMMER FUN!

Introducing....Oliver/Amelia SUMMER FUN!

I LOVE this set because I love pool days with the family. I love packing up a picnic lunch, getting the boys in the swim trunks, and heading over to the pool with all our pool toys in tote. My two little ones LOVE splashing in the pool, wearing goggles, their floaties, and swimming all day. It is one of our favorite summer activities. With that in mind, I created a fun card with one of the sentiments and Amelia dressed her little swim suit ready to jump in!

This new set is perfect for summer cards or layouts documenting your favorite summer memories. Summer Fun Set is full of great summer sentiments, and of course, adorable Oliver and Amelia ready to hit the pool or beach.
I colored Amelia with copics.

Skin - E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20

Hair - E25, E23, E31, E50

Swimsuit - YR15, YR12, YR00, orange stickles

I cut Amelia our using my Beaded Ovals Nestie and added some dark orange gems to the beads.
I used Bo Bunny's summer paper from last year, and distressed everything with Spiced Marmalade Distress ink to make it even more Orange. I tucked in a Magnolia Doohickey Swirl and a big orange half flower behind the image. I then layered a white prima flower on top with another gem to make it all pop!

SUMMER FUN will be released this FRIDAY, JULY 1st, during our "BLUSHIN' into SUMMERTIME" DT BLOG HOP/RELEASE PARTY, beginning at 12:01 am, CST...but you can WIN this adorable set today by 'swimmin' over to the TGF Blog to read how!

Here is my project:

Meet Blushing Bonnie. Isnt she a total doll??!!! I adore her outfit, and want her dress for myself, it is just adorable!!!! I used the Blush Hello Background behind her, and stamped that in Worn Lipstick Distress ink. The sentiment, "Thinking of You" also comes with Blushing Bonnie! What an amazing pair!!!!! I stamped the sentiment with Worn Lipstick, then cut it out like a banner flag. I paired all these images up with some Prima Annalee papers, dont you just LOVE the colors??!!

I followed the design layout of the Mystery Monday card being showcased this week on the TGF Challenge blog, what a great card to case. I followed the layout, with just a few little tweaks! I added white Prima roses to the corners which I painted with Cosmos and Patina Glimmer Mists. I also added lots of pearls, and a pink monarch punched butterfly.
There is so much excitement buzzing around the Farm today, you'll definitely want to start on the TGF BLOG because we have a HUGE PRIZE PACK to give away today for visiting us NEW Farmers and leaving some love and your thoughts on the new "BLUSH SOCIETY!" We can't wait to hear them!

That's it for me today, but I'll be back later this week, still blushing ;), with MORE TGF previews!
