Winter Ready Bear!

Hello friends! I am here to start your week off right with a little Dare 2B Artzy inspiration. I played around with the Skisons Greetings Stamp set and a new technique creating a sweater pattern! This. is not my idea I saw another brilliant Copic artist giving this a go so I am excited to share it here as well!

Here is a look at the markers I used:

And here is a look at what I came up with!

His whole jump suit is little dots so easy and fun! I added layers of D2BA papers from the new Snow Much Fun line and also used D2BA dies to add a little shape. If you look close you will see I stretched one of the dies a little longer by doubling up to fit the length of my image.

I recorded how I created all that fun texture and pattern with my markers, but the video is not quite ready to go! I promise I will get it to you in the next few weeks.

Thanks for stopping by today and

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Here are a few items I used for today’s card:

Elf Boots!

Hidey Ho! Happy Friday to you all! Have you seen all the new stamps from Rubbernecker for the Holiday season? I have been lucky enough to get a couple of them and I have two to share today! One of them was featured in a video Wednesday over at the Copic In The Craft Room YouTube channel.

For this release there are several sentiment stamps and I have been blown away watching what the Design Team is creating with them. They are so creative with ink and stencils and… I kept mine very simple and created a shaker.

I used the new stamp as well as a nesting oval die set from Rubbernecker.

Here is my second card featuring the Elf Boots. They are so stinkin’ cute! I tried a new ink with some no-line coloring it’s Called Ink one 3. Worked great and you can get a peek at it on the new video!

Here are the colors I used on the elf legs and boots. The Multiliner I used to add the small detail back into bell.
Here is a close up of the boots and legs. The new ink disappeared right away and even next to the white stripes of the socks my lines disappeared with the lightest touch of C1!
I created a large Santa sack for my little elf to fall into. I debated about a chimney or even the just the bottom of a tunic and decided on this. It makes me giggle 😁

And here is a link to the video of coloring the boots and socks!

Fall Flowers

Hello friends and family! Time for a little Monday morning inspiration. I am lucky enough to have one of the new sets, the Flower Mandela Stamp Set from Dare 2B Artzy and that is what I am playing with today! This set comes with coordinating dies and of course also has coordinating papers!

I decided to go for a very fall look with the big and little flower and stamped out one of the sentiments as well. Then colored them up with my Copics. This time I went online and used Pintrest to search color combinations for a little inspiration! Here is a screen shot from my phone of what I found.

I then translated that into my Copics:

I used the die set to quickly cut the two flowers out and get them attached to some beautiful D2BA papers.

Here is a close up as well😉:

Remember when coloring a detailed image like the Flower Mandela to keep your color choices simple you might only need two markers in an area or in a particularly small spot only one color, you can always add a second layer of the same color to add a little dimension!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Here are the D2BA supplies I used in today’s creation:

Fly Away Butterfly

Just want to say thank you so much to my next group of Copic College attendees! The ladies of Washington, Il and surrounding areas rocked the Copic weekend! And special thanks to Tami and The Paper Forest for hosting the event. Your store is a true pleasure to return to each year!

There is only one Copic College remaining in the 2020 season if you are near to Sacramento or more specifically Dixon, CA or are itching for a weekend away check out the details and join me for an incredible weekend of fun!

I also want to share my latest creation using stamps and dies from Rubbernecker Stamps. I decided to keep this one simple as usual, but I love when a group challenges you to push your normal. Like using a certain number of dies or adding sentiments which is not always the easiest. Sometimes the results turn out just right!

On top of the card base there are 3 separate layers this is the first, a Copic Airbrushed, cloud filled sky and sentiment from the Brush Butterflies set.
The next 2 layers consist of a white cardstock framed then a sheet of vellum with Copic colored butterflies also from the Brush Butterflies stamp set. All of those scalloped edges including the bottom edge on the velum and the first layer of airbrushed sky are cut using the Nested Rectangle Scallop Die set.
Before I show you the final card here are all the colors I used the B52 is what I used on the sky and the others are for the butterflies. Remember if you color one vellum you will need to stamp your image on one side and then color on the opposite side.
I kept the layers loose and tied them at the top with a blue twine. I love how it turned out
