Simple Copic Coloring and Dare 2B Artzy

Did you know Copic coloring does not HAVE to be complicated? You can keep it really simple! This week I created a card using only a handful of colors that I love and a gorgeous new flower stamp from Dare 2B Artzy.

I colored up the image, including a little ombre on the message:

2 colors for the petals, Y17 and Y11, 2 colors on the center YR14 and YR187 then 2 colors for the leaves YG61 and YG63. I used the Y11 and Y17 on the lettering.

Then I used the back ground I created using the D2BA stencil and my Copic ABS. (Air Brush System) You can see a post all about this a little lower down that includes a video over at Copic In The Craft Room on YouTube.

I put a simple card together and now I am ready to mail it!

Here is a quick close up peek at the flower. Remember Copic can be EASY, keep it simple!

January Challenge at Dare 2B Artzy

This month’s challenge over at Dare 2B Artzy is Winter Wonderland! I know here in Iowa the chill is ON! So it is not hard to gather inspiration for chilly cards. 

 

I created mine using the Snowflake Wishes stamp set.

I heat embossed them with a clear, sparkling embossing powder,

Then used my Copic ABS to air brush 4 colors over the top of the flakes.

To make the snowflakes shine through again I dripped a little Colorless Blender on a paper towel and gently wiped over the embossing and the Copic ink comes right up!

Lastly I used a beautiful patterned paper from D2BA, used a punch to get a loopy edge and pulled out some ancient rhinestone swirls from my old stash to put this lovely card together.

Make sure to stop by Dare 2B Artzy there will be NEW products popping up near the end of the month AND make sure to get your Winter Wonderland challenge turned in!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Fabric Flowers with D2BA and Terial Magic

I have a post over at the Dare 2B Atzy blog today bringing you a little creative inspiration! I am in the mood for holiday goodness these days so I wanted to share one of my latest favs! BUT, before I do that a quick reminder that we have an awesome challenge going on (there is one every month you know ?) This month is all about Gratitude. Make sure to submit your work for a chance to win!

On to my new craze! I have been playing with fabric and die cuts. The Dare 2B Artzy Poinsettia die cuts work perfectly for the process. Here is one of the fabulous flowers I created:

So easy, I treated the fabric with a stabilizer then ran it through my die cut machine.

Terial Magic is a product carried by Imagination International and makes fabric feel and work just like paper!

I have been putting these lovelies on all sorts of projects but here is a SUPER SIMPLE card that a couple landed on:

Dare 2B Artzy has all sorts of beautiful dies to choose from and you can use them with the coordinating stamps on their own for a completely different look!

I also put these flowers together on some fun clips!

For today’s creation all I needed was the Poinsettia Die!

Fall Cards with Dare 2B Artzy

Off I go on another fun creating day. Fall cards on the menu and I need a few so I can give out a few Thank You in the next couple weeks. So keeping it simple and quick is the name of the game today. So right to the creating, first I stamped a full sheet with the Dare 2B Artzy Tangled Leaves set.

I airbrushed the entire background with 2 Copic colors. The second color I used the brush nib while Airbrushing to create the splatter effect.

Then it is color color color! Here are some shots of the different Copic colors I used on each of the different stamps on the page. Leaf 1:

Leaf 2:

Leaf 3:

Acorn:

Leaf 4:

I love how all of them turned out. (Beautiful stamps certainly are at the heart of the project) Next I trimmed the full sheet into 4 card fronts:

Added them to card bases and added a small twine detail on each:

Ready to share with friends. So grateful right now for Dare 2B Artzy and being part of the design team!

Have a Happy Colorful Week!
