Take a Breath

It is a little crazy out there in the world at the moment. Let’s all take a deep breath…exhale…keep doing that. I am here just plugging along and although I am up to my eyeballs in work, move and the craziness of the world around me I am taking a few moments to share with you the craftiness I created just this morning. There is something soothing about taking a few minutes to color. It is good for the should to sit and create, and to just be.

I decided to color up a one bear from one of the new stamp sets from Dare 2B Artzy this moorning and get it onto a super simple card. (With me there is not other kind.)

The E53 and E55 are the bear fur, with a little E93 on the cheeks and inn the ears. The B41 and B45 are the overalls, the E41, E42 with the Y21 and Y28 are the honey and the pot. I used the BG70 and the BG72 for the background to match the wonderful D2BA papers.

I also added a little doodling to the border of the pattered paper. Always fun to add a little doodle, doodle, doodle!

That is really it for today! As many of us are finding ourselves at home for a few days find a few images to make you smile and release a little creative juices! Send a card to a friend, participate in a challenge (I hear the Dare 2B Artzy team has one every month!😉) And while you are at it,

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Buzzing By with Easy Copic Coloring

Hello friends! I am buzzing by with some super easy Copic Coloring! I colored up not one, but three card fronts in about 10 minutes and then put them all together in another 5. Gotta love quick and easy cards especially when they turn out so colorful and cute!

I used the cute new Buzzy Beez stamp set from Dare 2B Artzy and created 3 card fronts then I colored them up. I used a total of 7 Copic Markers for all three cards. Who says you need a whole lot of markers?!

The marker not shown is a BG000 for a little background color!

Then I used the fabulous new D2BA papers to create 3 quick easy cards!

If you would like to take a peek at how fast these really were to color up, I recorded the coloring portion and will have that video up and live on the Dare 2B Artzy YouTube channel tomorrow, Wednesday the 4th.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Thanks So Mush!

You read that correctly! I love a good pun 😁. Morning all,  bringing you a little Dare 2B Artzy inspiration this beautiful Tuesday morning. Rolling out more of the new release from D2BA. I have pieces from 2 of the new stamp sets and some of the gorgeous new papers on my card today.

First I colored up my little image with my Copic Markers.

Here is what that little window looks like:

I am liking the look of the unfinished coloring edges so I trimmed my image leaving a white border around the green grass. and added it to layers of the beautiful new patterned papers from the D2BA release.

As always I love all the options Cindy gives us with the coordinating papers! Lots of fun florals, stripes and beautiful colors! All of the new collection will be available to ship March 15th so start your list now and stay tuned for more inspiration from the design team on how to use all the new fun products.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
