Meet Aaron... soon to be a rocking and rolling mega star!

So I masked in the guitar for this first round attempt and colored him up with my Copics:

Skin – E30, E31, Ee33, E93, E04. Hair – W5, W7, W9, Colorless Blender Shirt – R22, R08, R29 Lea – Y32, Y38 Pants N1, N3, Colorless Blender Guitar – E43, E44, E47, E21, E25, YR24, E13 Shoes – E30, E31
I used the new die “Miss you” with some wood grain paper and kept the rest of the card super simple (after 2 shaker cards I needed simple ?)

There you have it! Hope you have. enjoyed the August release and have seen some things that look fun to get crafty with.

Stamp AnnieThing August Release Day 1


August release is finally here and we are celebrating with some beloved icons of the past!

Norma Jeane Mortenson, later to be a classic blonde bombshell named Marilyn Monroe!


This month we have a wonderful Quilted Card Mat Die, a Miss You Word Die, a retro Circles Stencils and some fun charms!

So then I got to play!!! I LOVE ❤️❤️❤️ this month’s release and had so much fun coloring all three of the iconic figures. Here is today’s star, I decided to color her no-line with my Copics:

Skin – RRR000, R01, E11, E93, E04, R81 Hair – Y00, Y21, Y26, Y28 Dress – C1, C3, C5, Colorless Blender** Notice the shoes, when stamped they are pink because that is what I used for no-line on this image but decided instead of turning them back to black to go sparkle instead. This is simply Nuvo over the top.
And close up.
I created a large shaker window in some of the beautiful silver yardstick from a. Grab and Go box then added lots of fun elements from Stamp AnnieThing as well. The black you see are crystals that are from the newest Grab and Go! I like how they stay put in the shaker and help break up the larger white space.
Here is the full card, I had to give you an angle on this because the silver is so reflective I could not keep me and the camera out of the shot otherwise!

Thank you so much fro stopping by today, check out the other designers and remember we have to more days of amazing SAT inspiration to come.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

My Manatees!

Hi friends and family! Bringing you a little D2BA inspiration to start your week off right.

Were you kids or young people in your life ever into Vegi tales? I look at these adorable Manatees stamps and in my head I am humming the Manatees song Larry Boy used to sing “You are my manatees, manatees –  you are the one for me one for me…” Yep I am that silly on occasion! But these stamps are too dang cute!

I colored mine up with Copic:

Copic used: BG90, BG93, BG96, YR02, YR04, YR09, R05, R08, R29

Then I went super simple adding strips of D2BA patterned paper including the end tab of gold fish which I ❤️!

This one is ready to ship off to a friend who just needs a happy hello!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Thanks for stopping by today! And make sure to check out some of the products I’ve used here in the D2BA store!

In The Blue

Hi friends and family! Here to share a little SAT inspiration for your mid-week entertainment. I decided to take another run at this month’s release. (With all the beautiful new Stamp Anniething goodies out thee it is hard to remember what actually came out at the start of the month!) Back to Egypt we go!

I love all three of the new images this month as well as the fab-U-lous Grab and Go Box so I know I will be coloring up a lot of these images multiple times. One of the ways I entertain myself when coloring multiple times is to switch up the colors. If I am trying to improve technique or skills I stay exactly the same for multiple attempts at an image, but when I am coloring just to color or play I love pushing to find new colors combos for an image. 

With my first round of coloring the Egyptian themed stamps this month I kept the color schemes very traditional looking up photo references on line so in coming back to the images I decided to start with the  Cleopatra image and go all blues to see what I would get. Even her kitty made a drastic change from a black cat originally to a barely there blue kitty.

Copics of course:

 Skin – R000, R01, R12, E93, E04, BV00 Hair – B41, B45, B37, B39 Dress – B93, B95, B97, B99 Copper – YR14, YR18, E09, B02 Cat – B0000, B02 and Colorless Blender

Then I created an inky background using Copic Various Inks and Yupo paper:

And layered it all together:

So fun! I know I will come back to these images and challenge myself with all sorts of different color combinations.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Make sure to stay tuned for more inspiration and get an entry in for this month’s Theme Challenge!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!!
