Teacher Anya

Hi All,

I coloured this image a long time ago, and have just now made it into a card. This is Teacher Anya from the Greeting Farm (formerly known as Pink Poison). She is soooo cute!

Since the images are so large and give lots of space, I like to stamp them in black Versafine ink, and emboss them with clear EP.

I coloured her with my Copic Sketch markers. I tried to give her some brown hair with reddish highlights. The polka dots are from a Stampin' Up! jumbo wheel called Lots of Dots, and that was done in Brilliant Blue ink on the same colour CS.

The strips are done with Pumpkin Pie CS, and the criss-cross arches are done in Whisper White CS with a Martha Stewart edge punch.

I used the Photo Corner punch with my Real Red Patterns DSP, and I used the corner rounder punch on them as well. I also rounded Anya's corners, and the corners on the card base.

I used a red flower from the sheet of textured flower die cuts from SU, and the orange felt flower from one of their Accents and Elements tins, with a Brilliant Blue brad.

The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations, stamped in Versamark, and embossed wih black EP.

This one is nice bright - not my usual. Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pink Poison Rocks!

Hi Again,

I absolutely love the stamps being put out by Pink Poison these days! I especially love the Anyas. Here is the new Elf Anya, and I used the cute Frosty Days DSP from SU. I love those colours because they are not traditional...and I LOVE Tangerine Tango!

Here are the Copic markers I used to colour her. (Click on the picture if you need to see a larger version.) She was stamped onto Whisper White CS with Versafine Black ink, and embossed with Clear EP. I find this is a good way to keep the image from bleeding when you colour (the embossing seals the ink in), but it is only useful for images that are very simple and have large features.

After I was finished colouring her, I cut her out, so that I could mount her onto my DSP. The DSP Classic Oval and the Bashful Blue Scalloped Oval were both cut out with my Nestabilities (using my Cuttlebug).

It's hard to see, but the right-hand edge of the card base was punched with a cute Martha Stewart punch (it also embosses - you might be able to tell). CS is Close to Cocoa.

Ribbon used was Tangerine Tango Striped Grosgrain from SU.

Hope you like her! Thanks for stopping by!

My Anyas

Hi All,



I have been playing with my stamps from Pink Poison. This first one is called Nurse Anya. I coloured all of my Anyas with my Copic Markers. For the nurse, I used Basic Gray, Basic Black, and Whisper White CS. The red paper is the Real Red Patterns DSP from the Level 1 Hostess paper pack from SU.


I added lots of dots with my Basic Black marker and white gel pen. The ribbon is Black Gingham.


The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations and punched out with the Large Oval punch.

The next one is Angel Anya. I used Pale Plum, Almost Amethyst, and Certainly Celery CS. Her cloud is made out of the ew Christmas glitter pack from Martha Stewart (it looks like snow). The background stamps are from Close To My Heart, stamped in Certainly Celery ink. I painted Shimmerz on her wings and her bow to add some sparkle (you can't really see it in this pic).





The purple velvet ribbon is a miscellaneous pack I found at a local scrap store.

The last one is Princess Anya. I used the sentiment from the set called Friend to Friend and punched it out with the Word Window Punch. The DSP is called All Dressed Up. It is a pack I got on sale from Scrappin' Great Deals (see "Where I shop online" on the righthand toolbar for the link). It is VERY glam. It has sparkles all over it.

Thanks for stopping by!
