Seas The Day, Dare 2B Artzy

Hello Friends and Family! I have a super fun card to share today that includes Copic coloring and airbrushing, there is even a video to boot so make sure to check it all out!

First things first, I created a background using my Copic Air Brush System and a beautiful stencil from the new line.

Next I colored up the adorable octopus from the Seas The Day stamp set:

And on the card it all goes! I added details with sketch pens that added just the right touches!

And finally here is a link to the video!

Layered Lovely Paper

Hello friends and family I am checking in with a little Dare 2B Artzy inspiration to start your month off right. Are you ever short on creative time? I know I am regularly so having a couple easy go to cards is super nice! I created a card using one strip of patterned paper and a quarter sheet of white cardstock!

First up I used a single sheet of D2BA patterned paper, I used both sides which of course coordinate beautifully then I also used part of the paper edge!

Then I used the Hello layered die and white cardstock to create a greeting for my card.

I layered them all on a white card base and poof, a card!

I debated with myself about coloring the greeting with Copic because I could match it to the patterned paper if I want but I am loving the white on white layers.

That is it for today! hope your April is off to a grand start without too many April fools pranks, at least none pulled on you!?

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Otterly Irresistible

Happy Monday friends and family. Bringing you a little Dare 2B Artzy inspiration to start your week off right. The challenge this month is up and running “Anything Goes” is the name of the game, make sure to post your work for the chance at some Dare 2B Artzy goodness.

Today I am sharing a new card with the adorable otters in the new Otterly Awesome stamp set!

They were just so sweet swimming together! and coloring them up with my Copic was so fun! Here is a close up of the pair.

The patterned papers that coordinate with this set and several of the new stamps make card making so easy! I even did a little work on the inside which I don’t always do, so here is a peak!

Copic No-Line Coloring

Hello Friends and Family! I am running a bit behind this am but just catching up from a weekend of teaching! I have a little D2BA inspiration for your Monday morning.

Today I am bringing you a follow up to my “Anything Goes” card that I shared yesterday. I shared Ragity Rabit being colored in a no-line coloring technique. Today I have a video of how to do no-line coloring on a different D2BA stamp set. It is the Totally Tracy Holly Xmas. Except that I color the flowers for spring!

Here is a direct link to the video:

I used a series of Copic markers here is a look at what I gathered:

I also use an E21, E23, and E25 that are not shown

And here is a peek at the project I completed!

And a close up too!

Thank you for stopping by today! Enjoy the rest of your week and

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Dare 2B Artzy March Challenge

There is a brand new challenge over on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog starting today and this is truly as easy as it can possibly be! “Anything Goes!”

I pulled out a stamp that I have not used in a while but that is truly a favorite, Ragity Rabbit and decided to do a little no-line coloring.

The Copic colors I used include Fur – BV20, BV23 and Colorless Blender Ears and nose – R81 Heart – RV66 Sky – B41 Grass – G40, G43. I also used a Multiliner .05 to add the whiskers and eye back in on the rabbit.
Since the image, sentiment and background filled the majority of a card front I kept things simple and added a single burst of color with patterned paper from the Botanical Breeze paper collection.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you will join us this month and share a Dare 2B Artzy creation in our challenge. Remember anything goes so just get crafty!

If you are curious about no-line coloring and how it is achieved I am planning to have a new video on the Dare 2B Artzy YouTube channel tomorrow with the basics of no-line coloring.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
