Roaring into the Third Anya Preview...

Good Morning today we are previewing ANOTHER new ANYA from The Greeting Farm! Introducing.....FLAPPER ANYA. This cutie is our third in the "Anya: Through the Years" series along with Hippie Anya and 80's Anya. She is a LIMITED EDITION stamp and will be released on Sunday, the 15th! Yay!

Well I just HAD to embellish this gorgeous Flapper Anya with a bit of glitz and bling. Her head band and dress I have heated silver embossing powder directly onto glitter card. Then cut out, as with the tassels and feather I used an embossing pen to add powder to these small pieces. Phew lots of fun! the embossing comes off a little, might need different ink!

I used Kazan's sketch 39 fantastic to inspire my card... just love this ribbon and I had to have another yummy button, with pearl top pin's too! The sentiment says bubbly, but it's a little hard to see.

Flapper Anya in a Spin

Good morning everyone,
Wanted to share my post for Club Anya. I just love to create a different dimension to a card and here flapper Anya is in a spin, tee hee. I have stamped Anya once then without re inking stamped again to give a faint outline. You will want it on two pieces of paper so that when you colour it won't bleed through to the front. Next it's time to use your light box (or window, empty picture frame over lamp) and your creative imagination to draw the back of Anya. Lay the faint image down and trace on the back...

The main differences is the hair and her hand, which will be behind the dress. I didn't do the feather on the back piece either, less fiddly the better hey? Next it's time to cut out both anya's, mine just about matched up you can trim till they do. I have adhered a little fishing line down the centre of Anya and sandwiched it between the two. Now Anya can spin in the circle aperture.

The wonderful Dawn has designed a fantastic sketch over at Inspirational Card Sketches and so I just had to take the oportunity to take part again!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: BasicGrey; eskimo kisses; glitter card; Stamps: TGF: Flapper Anya; Ink: Memento: Black; Copic: markers; glitter spica; Dies: Nestabilities: circles; Cuttlebug: snowflake; Fiskars: border punch; Other: Foof a la: buttons; Satin Ribbon; Fishing line(invisible thread); 3D foam;

A totally fun thing to do is spin Anya round quite a few times before placing in the envelope then she will turn round and round when the recipient opens up the card... just magic LOL! Wanted to share something fun to try out when your new stamps arrive, I hope it inspires and thanks for stopping by today, HuGs Kim :)

note: I have made a little video of me colouring the hair. Ok I wanted to post it today too but I'm just struggling to get it to the computer. I'm hoping to sort it by the end of the day so bear with me it's my first EVER video.... thanks :)
