Hello Dare 2B Artzy fans! I am super ready for summer! With temperatures still starting the day at 14 “feels like 1” I am more then ready!

Before I share my latest creation make sure to check out this month’s D2BA challenge working with pastel colors. Remember there is an opportunity for a prize!

Today I have a fun card to share! I used the beautiful stamp set, April Showers. I started with my Copic markers:

And I got my image all colored up!

A couple of spots to take a closer look at, the puddle at her feet. I used the Colorless Blender blues and greens to help the look of wet ground:

Or the sky with subtle clouds crated with the Colorless Blender:

Lastly I wanted the umbrella to look clear so I used a lot of colorless blender and hints of the hair colors and sky to suggest the transparency:

Once done I used a beautiful patterned paper from D2BA to back a simple card featuring the image:

When you have a few extra minutes I have a new video up over at the Copic In The Craft Room on YouTube featuring a card I created on the D2BA last month.
