Dare 2B Artzy Snowflake Blooms

Hello friends and family. Today I am bringing you a fun twist on a stamp made for a different season entirely.

It is FINALLY feeling a little more like spring and moving into summer her in the midwest. It was feeling like winter was just not going to shake loose! So I pulled out a winter stamp set and decided to brighten it up and re-purpose it for the final change of weather.

  • I used the Snowflake Wishes Stamp Set and stamped them with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder.
  • I used Copics and the Air Brush System to create flower petals and leaves over the snowflakes.
  • I used a cloth lightly dampened with Copic Colorless Blender and lightly brushed the Copic ink off the embossed snowflakes that now look like the centers of the spring flowers.
  • Next I added a a sentiment from the Refresh The Soul Stamp Set
  • To finish the card front I relied on a skill I have not pulled out of my tool kit in a while, Doodling!

Here is a look at the card:

And here is a close up:

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

I started by coloring up two of the stamps from the box with my Copic Markers. I love Stamp AnnieThing images they are crazy fun to color skin and hair on!
I fussy cut them out and used the card base, patterned papers, Cardstock, enamel dots, twine and the mouse balloon die all from the Grab and Go box. I used some of the Shaker Basic Dies from SAT to create the shapes in the background.
I even had the double sided tape and the glue from the box to put it all together!

Here is a close up of this cutie because she is about to get an accessory that covers up some of this hair and I am loving how it turned out ?
I decided to add a special feature on this cards I trimmed around the negative space left by the mouse balloon die added plastic film and small pieces of foam on the back.
I flipped the small clear balloon over and filled it with one of the shaker collections included in the box.
I used the card base, cardstocks, bench die, mouse balloon die, twine, mouse ear die, and bow. I did add a sketch pen and opaque white pen this time for the doodling.

Copic Coloring with Grab and Go

So what is Grab and Go? You still have not heard? Stamp AnnieThing has created new Grab and Go boxes that appear about every other month. Each one has a theme and ALL the supplies you need to create amazing cards and creations. And when I say all I mean ALL!

Below you will find a video showing all the goodness that comes in one of these Grab and Go boxes in fact it was the last one released and then me coloring up one of the images from that box. (There are only a few of those particular boxes left!)

But it will give you an idea what amazing goodies are in each of these boxes!

Here is a couple looks at the card I created using supplies from the last Grab and Go box.

I started with Copic to get the two images I selected colored up.

I used: Skin – E50, E21, E31, E93, E04 Hair – BV20, E44, E47, E49 Clothing – C1, C3, C5, C7, C9, E23, E27 Wolf – C1, C3, C5, C7, Colorless Blender, E93

And a close up of faces:

Then I used several other products in the Grab and Go box. I used the card base, the cardstock, the dies for the frame, ground and trees, the glitter, double sided adhesive and glue.

Honestly the ONLY thing I grabbed out of my own stash was a piece of plastic for the window of the shaker portion. EVERYTHING else is in the box!

Hope this inspires to get excited for the release this Wednesday for the latest Grab and Go box!

Like I said I have a video showing you all the amazing goodness packed in one of these boxes and some Copic coloring too ?

Swing into Spring with Stamp AnnieThing and Copic

Hi friends, Copic fans and family! Sharing a little mid-week inspiration from Stamp AnnieThing in the form of a challenging Copic no-line image. I also want to encourage you to enter this month’s themed challenge over on the Stamp AnnieThing Facebook page.

This month’s theme is Twine. Did you know that SAT is now carrying twine? It has been showing up in our grab and go boxes and I am kinnda excited about it as I have ALWAYS loved a good piece of twine or fibers to finish off any crafty project.

I used the Lucille – Roarin’ Fun and aimed for a no-line coloring rendition with my Copic Markers.

Here is how she turned out!

Yo might like to see colse ups of the dress and a bit of the hair and feather as well, I am pretty pleased how those came out.

Then of course she needs to Lindy hop her way onto a card so I used papers and twines from the last Grab and Go box, the glitter and mirror cardstock as well as the silver twine are just perfect. I also used the “fantastic” die cut. The only thing I added from my old stash is the fringy red twine, I just could not resist!

 It was hard to show the metallic silver cardstock and the shimmering white glitter cardstock without me getting reflected in the image, but trust me she is shinning!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, make sure to continue watching all the fun uses for twine this week and then get your entry in the album over on our FB page!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Stamp AnnieThing May Release Day#3

I can give all sorts of excuses why this did not get to you on the day it was supposed to but basically it is just plain late!

Last Friday was the third and final day of the Stamp AnnieThing peeks for the May release. And I did not share my card! And it is my favorite! So I am swinging back around and getting it done.

This cool character is colored up once again with only Copic Earth tones and this time in a no-line fashion. And I am pretty excited with how he turned out.
Here’s the close up shot so you can take a closer look at how the coloring is working.

Thanks for stopping by and sorry again for my tardiness! Hope you are having a spectacular start to your week!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
