Winter Ready Bear!

Hello friends! I am here to start your week off right with a little Dare 2B Artzy inspiration. I played around with the Skisons Greetings Stamp set and a new technique creating a sweater pattern! This. is not my idea I saw another brilliant Copic artist giving this a go so I am excited to share it here as well!

Here is a look at the markers I used:

And here is a look at what I came up with!

His whole jump suit is little dots so easy and fun! I added layers of D2BA papers from the new Snow Much Fun line and also used D2BA dies to add a little shape. If you look close you will see I stretched one of the dies a little longer by doubling up to fit the length of my image.

I recorded how I created all that fun texture and pattern with my markers, but the video is not quite ready to go! I promise I will get it to you in the next few weeks.

Thanks for stopping by today and

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Here are a few items I used for today’s card:

Fall Flowers

Hello friends and family! Time for a little Monday morning inspiration. I am lucky enough to have one of the new sets, the Flower Mandela Stamp Set from Dare 2B Artzy and that is what I am playing with today! This set comes with coordinating dies and of course also has coordinating papers!

I decided to go for a very fall look with the big and little flower and stamped out one of the sentiments as well. Then colored them up with my Copics. This time I went online and used Pintrest to search color combinations for a little inspiration! Here is a screen shot from my phone of what I found.

I then translated that into my Copics:

I used the die set to quickly cut the two flowers out and get them attached to some beautiful D2BA papers.

Here is a close up as well😉:

Remember when coloring a detailed image like the Flower Mandela to keep your color choices simple you might only need two markers in an area or in a particularly small spot only one color, you can always add a second layer of the same color to add a little dimension!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Paisley Peacock with Dare 2B Artzy

Hello Copic friends! Starting your week off with a little D2BA inspiration as well as a video link!

I decided to color up one of the new stamp sets, Paisley Peacock and used a photo reference to try to get a little accuracy at least in colors.

Then I used the beautiful coordinating patterned papers from the Autumn Oasis Collection.

I recorded the coloring so you can see me adding these rich colors with my Copics onto my pretty peacock:

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Pretty Papers!

Hi Dare 2B Artzy friends! Michelle Houghton here to share some of the new D2BA papers today!

Let’s keep it super simple today! I am just layering. papers and adding a sentiment from the Love Birds stamp set.

I used two of the papers from the brand new Blooms at Midnight paper line. And some rich cardstock layers in between.

I also used some of the D2BA dies to create the nested, stitched shapes and popped up the sentiment and it’s base.

Thanks for stopping in today! I’ll be back with more Copic coloring and maybe a video too!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
