Last but not Least!

Last but not least is The Greeting Farm’s Cheeky Nurse.
I thought she would look cute on a pill box with a little prescription noted on the tag.
I tucked some M&M candy inside because chocolate always makes me feel better!

I don’t know why but I was very drawn to the pattern paper on the following card, maybe because the colors were so soft and subdued. I decided to go with a very simple layout and I really liked the way it turned out.

OK, peeps, I'm out. Hope you have a great day!

Cheeky Glamour

Today I am showing-off The Greeting Farm’s Cheeky Glamour Girl. I totally love her!
I chose to color her in the classic bombshell style so I gave her platinum blond hair. You know, the Mae West, Marilyn Monroe style. I thought she looked great however, my daughter said she look like she had old gray hair!..................Oh well, what does she know, pfft!

Again, loving the tiny tags for the greeting.
Here she is again minus the platinum hair just in case anyone agrees with my daughter lol. This time I added a Mae West quote to the card. Maybe my first card might have worked better if I had added Mae West’s quote to it instead of this one??? Maybe I am just over thinking it!
The flower I used here was not really the shade of yellow I needed so I used my Copic Pens and airbrush system and quickly airbrushed it the color I wanted. I love my Copic mini compressor!

Hope you enjoyed my little glamour girls! I’ll be back tomorrow with Cheeky Nurse.
Have a great day!

Supplies Used
The Greeting Farm, Cheeky Glamour cling mount stamp
Copic sketch markers for image & Copic airbrush system for background
Echo Park, For the Record, designer paper & My Little Bicycle, designer paper.
Misc. stamps for tags & sentiment, tulle, flower, glass head pin, glitter and Spellbinders die.

Oh So Cheeky

StampinEJ has some new stamps in the store from Inky Antics, Impression Obsession and the Greeting Farm. Here is what I picked up. I love the Cheeky Girls from TGF so I chose to work with them for this post. I just think they are the cutest!
I had just picked up the new October Afternoon Modern Homemaker 8 x8 paper pad and knew the Cheeky Cherry Pie baker would be just perfect for it! I stamped her in black Memento Ink and went to work using my Copics. I am so into using small tags for my sentiments right now. I typically tie it to what ever embellishment I am using.
I really like using the small tags because it’s easier to include a sentiment on the front of a card, especially when your image is somewhat large. It eliminates the hassle of trying to figure out where the heck to put the greeting!
Cheeky Cherry Pie looks cute on my new grocery list too!
Supplies Used: The Greeting Farm, Cheeky Cherry Pie cling mount stamp,
Copic Sketch markers for image & Copic Airbrush System for background,
Computer Generated “Sweet” for the Tag,
October Afternoon, Modern Homemaker designer paper,Red & White Bakers Twine,
Misc. Ribbons and Spellbinders, Lacy Circles.

That’s it for today, I will be back to post my Cheeky Glamour girl tomorrow!
