Now on to our February Farm Fresh Challenge. This month our challenge is:

3D Projects!

Here is my 3D creation... I warn you ahead of time I may have skipped a couple holidays along the way in order to create this :)


Okay, I know, I know.. I get that we haven't even had Valentines day yet, but as soon as I seen this carrot treat box in my Silhouette library I had to make it!

I then made this cute little tag using some papers from the Bunnyville paper pad by Doodlebug Designs.
I used the ADORABLE, Easter Bean digi stamp from The Greeting Farm Shop.

Pattern Papers used for carrot:
Doodlebug Designs- dot-grid-daisy-stripe
rainbow petite prints
Basic Grey- Fiction

I colored using my Copic Markers:

Hat: B60,BV31,BV23,R20,R00,R30
Skin: E0000,E00,E04,E11,E21,R21
Hair: E11,E13,E15,E18
