I love coloring, I know that comes as a shock to those of you who have followed for a while, but I do! When Ann at Stamp Anniething decided to try a member card swap I jumped at the chance to share a card with a new crafty friend and receive one in return! Then I joined the Stamp AnnieThing team so I decided I better kill two birds with one stone or I would fall behind quickly. 

To add to that I have ended up injuring myself and I am one arm down, yes it is my right and I am right handed. Now I can place it on my desk and type and even color but card creating is a slow and not so easy process at the moment so I am trying to craft smart with all my video tutorials and design team projects!

I drew DeAnn from Washington state and then we all got an adorable digital stamp to create our card with. Here she is all colored up with my Copic Colors:

To triple up on my assignments it is also a theme week and we are talking arrows this week! Handy that one of the new releases for the month of May is this Builders Chevron Die set, arrows check!

Then I layered my image and papers with arrows onto a card, as I was reaching for my adhesive I even spied this paper clip that has been lying in wait for the perfect project more then a little while! So perfect, I love it when a project comes together!

So this little cutie immediately got tucked into an envelope and mailed to Washington! I hope DeAnn likes her! If Stamp AnnieThing decides to have another swap you should jump in! So much fun to create with a new friend in mind AND get beautiful happy mail in your mail box!

It is the first Sunday of the month and that means a new challenge at the Dare 2B Artzy blog. Each month a winner is selected and gets some free Dare 2B Artzy goodness, and all it takes is a little creative time on your part. 

This months challenge is Dreaming of Flowers, easy peasy especially with all the new flower images at Dare 2B Artzy!.

I created this card for the challenge, I stamped the flower twice so it would circle the greeting and colored it up with my Copics!

Not a lot of explanation needed just a pretty card for a beautiful spring day! 

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Yep one more day of crafty goodness and time for another man to take center stage! Today Kevin – Grilling is featured and I also used a gorgeous new stencil that is available this month as well called Sashiko Abstract.

Right to my pictures then! I started by stamping, I did a little masking to add a steak onto Kevin’s grilling fork, we like steak at our house) and then picked a handful of masculine colors to color Kevin with out of my Copic stash:

Here is a closer look at Kevin and his grilling work:

I then used the new stencil and my Copic ABS to create a blue abstract background. Love the geometric shapes on this one, it is most likely going to appear again!

Then layered it all together to create a fun card that immediately got tucked into an envelope and went to my husband last weekend for his Birthday> Perfect since he is a grill master!

Hope you have enjoyed the May release and have stopped by Stamp AnnieThing to pick out one or two favorites to keep your creative juices flowing!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Welcome back Stamp AnnieThing fans! Ready for another adorable stamp?! Today’s star is Stacey – #celebrate. I am in love with her sparkler and hat, the hat did not make the card this time but you can bet it will be on Stacey’s head the next time I color her! OH and we also have a really fun set of diet banner flags that YES Copic color beautifully!

Here is a look at what I created- 

I stamped my image on Copic Sketch book paper and then gathered lots of bright Copic markers:

I love how the image layered with the sparkler in Stacey’s hand and the star banner colored up so easy with Copics! Here is a closer look at Stacey’s face:

And here is a look at my final card, I will admit on this one I like the image a lot, but  I am wanting to peel it off the card and try again. Do you ever have days like that? So I will stay zoomed in when I look at her ?.

Tomorrow we have one more day of creative goodness for you so make sure to stop by and see the final day of reveals!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
