It's MAY-day @The Greeting Farm

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!

It's MAY-day at The Greeting Farm and we here to celebrate our wonderful spring-themed release! We hope you've truly enjoyed the last few days of preview as we've introduced you to two new Anyas, and THREE new TGF dies! The possibilities are truly endless with these versatile borders and we are anticipating seeing some super cute projects made by a lot of you!

There's a lot of fun to be had this month and we are just getting started with our RELEASE DAY blog hop! As always, the prize is one sweet deal, as one lucky winner will receive the ENTIRE May Release!

Before I leave you with one amazing lineup, here's what I have for you today:


I am using the new release Anya Strolls & TGF Gate Die. The paper is from Recollections - Union Square. I made an easel card (measures 5.5 x 5.5). The Gate Die fit perfectly on this size card, leaving a little border on each end.

 

I had so much fun coloring her outfit with my Copics. I wasn't planning on making a video, but I recorded myself experimenting, I created a leopard print on her trench coat and the matching outfit for the dog.



So cute! I hope you give this technique a try.


GOOD LUCK on winning the entire release!

Thanks for stopping by, and if you're just getting here, be sure to head back over to the TGF Blog to begin the hop. Here's our order for the May release party:

JO THOMPSON (You're Here)

...and BACK to the TGF Blog to leave your comment letting us know you've hopped, left comments, and what you love best about this month's release! You have until 11:30pm CST this evening to sit back, take in all the new creations, and enter to win! Thanks so much for your support and excitement as we ring in our MAY stamp release!

    ♥LOVE♥ that leopard jacket Jo ~ I'll take one for myself ;) Definitely going to have to try that technique! This card is gorgeous. Love the red and black and how the white sentiment pops on the black.

    Jo, I love the black and red color scheme, but the leopard print knocks your coloring out of the ballpark! You are so creative. Thanks for sharing. :)

    Hi Jo, WOW....thanks so much for sharing not only your gorgeous card but your coloring video as well. Take about a double scoop of ice cream. lol.... I love how you have come up with her coat and the puppies. They look perfect and I really enjoyed seeing you do it. I really love this Anya and I so so so want to get her. I have always loved seeing what you come up with and it's more of a piece of art than just a card. Thanks for sharing and take care. Hugs, Lisa G
