For this card I used ALLLLLLLL the color. I really wanted a rainbow mermaid, and I think I pulled it off. 

I used alcohol markers to color a gradient rainbow across Anya's hair, and then used a slightly darker version of the rainbow for her tail. 

Once Anya was colored, I used the same colors on the fish. Then popped all of those cut images onto a die cut background that I used a bubble stencil and more rainbow inky goodness. 

We are so excited to see your take on this challenge! We will have more cards featuring the New Release from our Design Team Leaders starting on the 18th so be sure to stop by The Greeting Farm Blog to see more inspiration.

THE GREETING FARM: Amelia's Garden - May 2026 New Release

Happy Tuesday Farmers! We are on Day 1 of Previews for the May 2026 New Release. This month we are introducing 3 new clear stamp sets that will be available for purchase on the 15th at 12am EST.

The Amelia's Garden stamp set is full of adorable gardening bunnies. You can easily take the three sweet bunnies, and make a ton of scenes with each of them. 

Help the bunnies take a few moments to pick the perfect strawberry, plant some flower in a cute wheelbarrow, grow some adorable carrots, or check the daisies in a cute upturned pot. 

Each of the cute critters adds to the scene. I am going to love matching their cute outfits to various papers and embellishments. 

Check out these fabulous cards from our amazing Design Team.

THE GREETING FARM: Happy Birthday Wishes

 

Hello friends! Today is my mom's birthday, and I created a card just for her. A few weeks ago, the Big Birthday Kit went on sale, and I knew that I wanted this set. I loved the various characters that could be colored and designed for any person you know. 

I colored the little girl and her accessories with alcohol markers, making sure to include my mom's red hair. 

Once everything was colored, I worked on the background paper. I created a background effect with Distress Oxide inks, blending them together, then sprinkling water on the paper to add some texture. 

Before I used dimensional adhesive to pop everything onto the paper, I stamped the Birthday Wishes sentiment, using some clear embossing powder to create some shine. If you want to see the Big Birthday Kit to be brought back for a future Farmer's Market, make sure the use the Contact Page to let The Greeting Farm know!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy creating!

THE GREETING FARM: Hey There Little Dreamer

 

Hello friends! Today's card is actually two cards, and you can decide which you like best, shimmer or lots of stars. I started with the fabulous Little Dreamer Stamp Set and a lot of markers. 

The scene was created using a stamping platform so that everything was situated just right. This also allowed me to stamp multiple copies, so I can just color another card later, or use a completely different color palette. 

On the first card, I used just the stamps to create the scene. On the second version of this Little Dreamer card set, I added a LOT of stars. I'm not sure yet which one I like the best. Which version are you loving? 

Thanks for stopping by, and happy creating!

For this month's challenge, I used threes, thrice. Three little creatures, three paper airplanes, and three strips of paper from one of my most favorite Sassafras Lass papers. 

I couldn't resist creating some motion lines with a white gel pen. 

These two are just too adorable, And the little hedgehog is just studying quietly.
