Was it all a DREAM?

Hey, everyone!  I'm here with The Greeting Farm today and I'm happy to report that no,

it definitely was NOT a DREAM!

That's right! Today is the super special mid-month RELEASE DAY for the brand new mixed-media DREAM kit... appropriately titled "DREAMY"!  This jumbo-sized, 8.5x11 FULL sheet of stamps is available starting NOW over in TGF Store so be sure to grab yours before they sell out!

I love the mixed media world because it allows you to experiment with new techniques.  In this piece I mixed Faber Castell Gelatos with Super Gloss Mod Podge and glitter to create a unique stamping media.  This tinted gloss worked fabulously with the DREAMY stamps and was used for background stamping.

Greeting Farm Preview!! DREAMY Stamp Kit for Mixed Media

Today's the day... The Greeting Farm is previewing the "DREAMY" kit, which will be released on June 15th and is a fabulous stamp set geared toward mixed media but versatile enough for card making and other crafts!  The kit is 8.5 x 11 and is filled with wonderful images and sentiments.

Click to visit The Greeting Farm Blog and see more of the preview! 

  The Greeting Farm stamps work wonderfully in mixed media because the images are deeply cut allowing them to work with many kinds of media including inks, paints, texture pastes, gesso and much more.  So versatile and fun to work with, this stamp set will allow your imagination to soar.

 Here is a piece I created on a 10 x 10 artist board using several of the DREAMY images to create background texture as well as paper piecing focal points. 

It's fun to use the stamps in a variety of ways.
