The Greeting Farm - Sending Smiles

Hi everyone, Jo here. How is your weather where you are from? Mine has been gloomy and rainy. It's time to cheer up someone's day with this card. This card features Anya from Explore Anya FB.  Here she stands in a field of tulips with cute chicks from the Happy Easter Anya Digi Set.

All images are colored with a mixture of Copic Markers and Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The sentiment "Sending smiles" (Limited Anya Combo 2 Set) is stamped on a cloud background.

The other floral elements from the Explore Anya FB set, help make this lush backdrop. The ground she is standing on is a simple base created with Copics.

This is such a cute Easter image set. I didn't resize the images. The tulip bouquet is strategically placed around the edge to create a floral border. The little chick is flipped to face the other side. Printed on Neenah Solar White Classic Crest White 80lb cardstock in my inkjet printer. 


All images are colored with Copic markers. The Anya image is fussy cut out and placed on dimensional foam adhesive. The sentiment is on a flag banner with a chick placed on the right.
