Happy Monday Dare 2B Artzy fans and friends. Michelle Houghton from Scrapweaver.com here for a little boost of inspiration at the start of your week.

For those of you in the USA Happy Labor Day and I hope you are enjoying a longer weekend with family, friends and some time for a favorite crafty project or shopping spree.

We started a brand new challenge yesterday and it is another fun easy one! Create a Dare 2B Artzy project using your favorite colors!

Today I have a card using one of our newest stamp sets Squirrel! I have these two sitting nose to nose. I colored them up with my Copic markers, I made a point of matching their fur colors to the beautiful new Fall Harvest papers:

Here is a closer peak at these adorable critters!

One of my absolutely favorite things that Dare 2B Artzy does is having papers that can be used with their dies. I used one of the new Fall Harvest papers and cut out several of the leaves to add a cluster on the right side of the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by Dare 2B Artzy today! Don’t forget there is all sorts of wonderful new goodies in the store and hopefully you have a little extra time today to do a little shopping!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

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!

For the hop I used several new items including 3 die sets, one stamp set and new patterned paper! 

I used the Foxy stamp set and colored up my image with Copic markers:

Then I did quite a bit of die cutting, I love the dies that match the new patterned paper!

I also used one of the newer frame sets along with the specialty die that creates this special fold and cut along my card front!

When you put it all together the front of the card looks like this:

And the inside of the card looks like this!

And here is one more peek so you can see whet that fold is doing!

Morning friends, here to share a little Monday morning Dare 2B Artzy  inspiration. 

We have a brand new challenge going this month and it is a easy as it get’s! Anything Goes! Make sure to play along for chance at some free D2BA goodies!

I am sharing another peek at one of the newest stamp sets over at D2BA with our adorable little skunk!

I colored him up with Copics of course, this time I used: BV20, BV23, C5, C7, C9 and Colorless Blender on the skunk, with touches of E53, E93, and E04 on the ears, feet and nose. The eyes I touched with YR24 and YR27. I used a little C0 and C1 for the cast shadow and B0000 for the faint halo. I brightened up the eyes with a single dot each of opaque white as well.

This little furry friend is sure adorable and I can’t wait to share the new furry folks that will be joining him for the fall release! You are going to LOVE them!

Thanks for stopping by today, make sure to check back each day for more D2BA creativity!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
