I am excited to be showcasing one of the new stamp sets from Dare 2B Artzy, Playful Posies. This stamp set is so very versatile!

I’ll let you in on a little secret, I am not really a card maker or stamper I just pretend to be one for work! I LOVE all kinds of art and crafting, and have played with card making and stamping, but did not really get serious about it until I started working for Imagination International, Inc. (Better known to most as Copic) That being said I just do not have a huge store of stamping supplies and tools. I am slowly collecting like any good crafter the things I “need” for this craft, but in the mean time I am making due with what I do have.

With this layering set one of the really fun things to do is to layer colors of ink with the different pieces, but I do not have different colors of ink, so my solution as always is Copic! I decided to stamp my bottom layer with Copic and then added black ink on top. I added a few doodles in white on top as well.

Once the images are ready I got them all fussy cut and added them to a card using papers from the “Artsy Doodles” paper pack.

Here is a closer look at some of the details.

Best part yet, I did it all on video! So you can see me, mistakes and all, experimenting with the stamping process. Spoiler Alert it took me more then once to get the flowers just how I like them. The video is over at Copic In The Craft Room on YouTube and you can find it at the link below.
