It's release day at TGF!

The October 2023 Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced three new sets. Our first stamp set called Holiday Anya 11 has Anya trying to convince Santa she's been nice this year by bribing him with cookies and hot cocoa. Next, we introduced five cute penguins enjoying a Snow Day on the slopes. Lastly, we have Anya in Italy visiting the Colosseum on her scooter. 

For my card today I've revisited the Anya in Italy set and Anya has taken a train from Rome up to the Tuscany region where she is enjoying the best pasta dish she has ever eaten. I created this idyllic scene with a little help from the table and chair in the Coffee Bean kit and a mirror stamp that I used to have the lilies frame both sides of the card. I also wiped the ink off of her purse before stamping to free up her arm and drew in the missing part of her leg and skirt. The background was colored in free hand using a photo that I googled as reference. I don't know about you but I wouldn't mind joining Anya on her tour of Italy.  :)

To celebrate this release we are having a short BLOG HOP and one lucky fan will take home the entire release! You have until October 18th, 12pm CST/1pm EST to leave your comments on each designer's blog, then head back to The Greeting Farm Blog to let us know you completed the hop.
