What’s Your Favorite Color?

What is my favorite color? Are you serious? Do I have to pick? I am one of “those” people who change my favorite over time and really behind it all love all the colors. I have been through a yellow phase, multiple blue stages of varying values and saturations, as well as purples and raspberries. You can usually tell by looking at my latest clothing purchases which way I am leaning!

This month Dare 2B Artzy is challenging you to pick your favorite color and feature it in a creation to enter this month’s challenge!

Since I am a bit wishy washy when it comes to choosing just one color I avoided it and added them all!

I used my Copic ABS and added the full ROY G BIV over the D2BA Wacky Boxes stencil:

Then I added some stamped velum butterflies from the Butterfly Inspiration stamp set:

And a sentiment from the state set in the corner:

And finished off the card with simple layering using one of my very favorite D2BA patterned paper sets, Artzy Doodles!

Thanks for flying by my blog today! Make sure to spend a few minutes this month getting creative with your favorite color and up-load it to the D2BA blog for your chance to win!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Pencil Power with Stamp AnnieThing

Hello Stamp AnnieThing fans I have another back to school cared to share today. I love the August release and needed to create one more card featuring these great stamps. Besides I didn’t break out any of the pre-printed die cuts at the start of the month and they are so fun and easy to color I wanted pull some out!

I used the Madison-Be All Kinds of Happy stamp and the Back to School Decorative Die Cuts and colored them all up with LOTS of Copic markers:

Here is a close up of the adorable Madison and her back pack from the die cut set. I cut a slit along the edge of the backpack so it would look like she is carrying her bag:

And here are a couple views of the completed card!

As usual I keep it really simple a few layers of fun patterned paper with my colored elements and done!

Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure to keep watching the store for all sorts of fun new images and products! We have a release right around the corner and you are going to love it!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
I really wanted to color as many of the images in this set as possible! They are so much fun and just screaming for color! So I started with this little guy and his marshmallow! I focused in on him and just the fire coloring him in no line coloring. Here are the colors for his skin and hair:
 
 
And here are the colors for his clothes, I did add a little opaque white on the moon on his shirt and some gold on the stars:
 
 
Then I colored up the little fire:
 
 
Pulled it all together using the new die cut for a silhouette of mountains:
 
 
Then more coloring! I layered a few of the stamps masking as I worked from the front to the back of the scene. Then colored the entire card front:
 
 
Once I had the card colored with all those Copics I used a charcoal pencil, white opaque pen, Wink of Stella and Stickles, for effects of stars and smoke:
 
 
Here is a look at the full image/card:
 
 
There are so many options with this set! I know it will be coming back out of my stamp baskets often!!

Christmas in August

Hello Dare 2B Artzy Friends and Fans! Another Monday has rolled around for me to share a little D2BA inspiration with you! Make sure you participate in this month’s challenge it is about as EASY as it gets sine it is “Anything Goes”! Yep just show us your D2BA creation and be entered to win a prize!

I am doing a little pre-holiday card making today. I do not do a lot of handmade cards, just can’t figure out when to put the time in, but I make several and send them out to a few family and friends that I know will appreciate them!

I used the Totally Tracy Holly X-Mas set and colored it up with my Copic markers.

I added it to a card with some beautiful D2BA patterned papers! And several leftover scraps of bling:

Here is a closer look at the flower:

The stamping with masking took longer then the coloring, I love coloring these beautiful open images loosely, leaving them with a watercolor or painterly feel.

I hope you have had a chance to stop by the D2BA store over the weekend to see the amazing new products that just came out! There are stamps, dies and paper and all coordinate so well together you will have a hard time just picking one or two things!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Have a Happy Colorful Week!

The products I used for this card include:
