Happy Friday everyone! My card with a bunch of adorable forest critters uses two sets from a fun new release from The Greeting Farm – Wood Friends and Cuddly Thanks – they sent them to me to play with and OH. Cuteness overload!
Forest Critters Scene
I’m sharing the coloring of this card, aided by my Hex Chart – what? You haven’t heard about it? Well me oh my. I thought everyone in craftyland had one by now! Well it’s HERE, and after watching the video below, you can go get one for yourself.
I’ve been asked time and again to share my little forest critters backgrounds, and I attempted to talk through it this time…but oh it’s so hard to just say “Scribble here, then scribble there.” I’m not sure how helpful this is! Watch it below, or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube:
A note about the Copic Wide marker I used, the YG95: that one doesn’t exist on THIS list, right? Well, guess what you can do? Pick up an EMPTY marker. You can do that with any marker body, but I’ve found it especially helpful to have it in the Wides so I can choose what colors I’m most likely to use. And with my desire to do these forests, YG95 was a must. So I just used my reinker and filled ‘er up!

I loved how you drew in your background with copic markers. It now gives me an incentive to want to create more with my copic markers instead of just coloring.

Stunning, Sandy! I watched the video in amazement.

Your coloring is amazing!!! A friend just started using Copics and I recommended that she go to your site and Kristina Werner’s because you give great instructions on how to use these markers. I don’t think any other markers compare to how well they blend. The animals on this card are just the cutest! Thanks for your instruction.

I am new to The Greeting Farm stamps and site… but after finding your blog by way of Kristina Werner’s blog I can see I’ve been missing out big time….
These stamps sets are just so Cute, how could your card be anything but Too Cute too, and enjoyed your video!
I just became a Follower.
Wow your coloring is so amazing!
I love your card and coloring technique. These little critters are so cute.
What fabulous colouring, I can only dream of ever being able to colour like that.
Sooo beautifully done! You made the cute little animals look so real and sweet. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Just wow!
Love it all, but I found your background technique especially fascinating!
These stamps are adorable & I just LOVE that squirrel. Too cute! 🙂
Another winner! I love watching you make the woods behind your main images. It is amazing. A very cute design using all the new images. Great job!! Love it…TFS!!!
Wow this is stunning!
Interesting to see how you did the forest in the background! Your scene turned out fantastic. I would like to get one of those charts, but it seems the only option for buying is PayPal and I don’t use PayPal.
You should be able to use a credit card with Paypal? I haven’t tried it but the site says its possible.
Leaving some love is right! Your card is outstanding! What a great way to finish off my Friday! I love your work!
