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!

Hark the Herald Angles Sing! Copic Bible Journaling

I am adding a couple extra posts this week at my blog and over at Copic In The Craft Room. 

Merry Christmas Eve to those who celebrate! Christmas looks a little different every year in our home since John’s schedule changes every year. This year he has a 4 day stretch of call that started Friday morning and will not end until Tuesday morning. Yeah it’s a little bit of a doozy! The girls and I have taken in a movie and snuck in a meal with John between his runs to the hospital. We will be celebrating our Christmas today the 24th and then might have to take in another movie on the 25th. In the meantime, if time allows I thought I would share a little extra art. No frills and not of explanation just a little love and joy from me to you!

I created this in my Bible and just love how she turned out. I have been waiting patiently to color her up with Copic markers

She is from Dare 2B Artzy and I just adore her. Here is a close up;

This is an image I know I will use again and make a point to try to pull out of my stamp basket to share. Now using Copics in my Journal Bible I do need a blotter sheet in between and although that protects the page behind the ink is still clearly on the back of the page.

She is still beautiful and I will find a way to use her on this page as well. I also got a quick shot of the fist full of markers that I used to color her up.

If I have time I will try to get one more post in tomorrow and then I have a video waiting to be edited for Wednesday so I am still trying to send you all some Copic inspiration. Thank you so much for your support and for stopping by!

Have a Happy Colorful Holiday!
