As High As I Can Reach D2BA and Copic

Hello Friends and Family! Happy Monday to you I am starting my week with a little D2BA inspiration.

Hopefully you were able to participate in the new product hop this past weekend and see wonderful projects created with all the new products by Dare 2B Artzy that will be ready to ship in the next week or so! And I am crossing my fingers that you have had a little crafty time this month and have been able to participate in this months challenge “love”. Super easy to create a card, page or crafting project and enter a photo for your chance to win some D2BA goodies!

On to the inspiration! I created a sweet card with the new “Stand Tall” stamp set:

I used my Copic markers to color the image after stamping 3 stamps from the set, the mama (or daddy), baby and the sentiment. I decided, after coloring the giraffes with colors that I felt like were at least similar to the real animal, that I wanted to create a background as well but did not want a crisp horizon or just faded halo. I settled on a grass look but softer. The colors I used are: Giraffe (base) – YR20, YR21, YR23 (ears) E93 (spots) E44, E47 Background BG70, BG72, Colorless Blender. I did add a little opaque white on the eyes as well to pop the highlight a bit.

Thank you as always for stopping by! I hope you have had a chance to see the full Dare 2B Artzy release I truly love every bit of the new product!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Seas The Day!

Hello friends and family starting your week off with a little Dare2B Artzy and Copic inspiration. 

I am sharing one of the brand new images this week, the Ocean Waves stamp set. There is a brand new challenge as is usual at the start of the month and just in time for Valentines the challenge is “Love”! Make sure to share your creation over on the D2BA blog for a chance to win some Dare 2B Artzy goodies.

I stamped the little sail boat and masked it so I could come back and stamp the waves over the top so the little boat could be right down on the water and added one of the sentiments that comes with the set. 

Then I colored up the water and sky with my Copics:

I added some color to my little ship:

I added a little sparkle to the waves:

And got my image onto my card front with a small touches of two of the new coordinating patterned papers from the Seas The Day line.

Thank you for stopping by today! Make sure to check out the brand new shop and site for Dare 2B Artzy and pick out a few items from the new lines. Just so you know they will be available for shipping the first of March.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

New Product from Dare 2B Artzy

Don’t you just love when a favorite company comes out with new things to create with? I do and Dare 2B Artzy just shared a whole lot of new over the past weekend!

Hi friends I am sharing a little inspiration to chase away winter blues. It just got real here in the midwest as we got hit with our first real snow of the season and the weekend temperatures were in the single digits and “feels like” in the below zero ranges. I have been tucked in tight prepping for classes and creating cards with the fun new products from Dare 2B Artzy.

Not only is there new product in the store there is a brand new site so be patient as we work out all the glitches, also know that the new goodies are not quite shipping yet. They are all there to view and purchase, but not ready to package up for a wee bit longer.

Today I am sharing an image from the new Seas the Day collection, I am using the Aloha/Hibiscus Stamp Set and the beautiful new coordinating papers.

I adore a simple card as you know and the clean lines of the image and simple color palette just suite me to a tee. I have colored the image with Copic, including the background and added the sparkle with a little glitter. I can color right over the sentiment since the D2BA inks are Copic compatible and then trim the square and layer with a card base and patterned paper.

Here is a quick look at the flower:

The colors I used are Y00, Y21 and the Colorless Blender on the flower and B00 for the background, so super simple! Reminds me a bit of a Hawaiian shirt.

I hope you were lucky enough to catch the Dare 2B Artzy team at their booth in Phoenix, but if you were like me and huddles at home in the cold make sure you make time to stop at the new on-line store and see all that is new!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Dare 2B Artzy Video Inspiration

Hello friends and family. I am hopping on this fine January morning with a little creative inspiration for you from Dare 2B Artzy. Lots of D2BA news so let’s get to that first!

There is a brand new monthly challenge going on this month we are looking for inspiration from our favorite seasons. Make sure to enter for your chance to win some Dare 2B Artzy goodies.

There will be new products coming out! Later this month you will start seeing sneak peeks and they will all be available February 1st.

Dare 2B Artzy will be at Creativation later this month as well. If you are attending be sure to drop by booth 561 to wave hello!

OK I think that was the list of the items to be reported woosh! On with the art and inspiration. Today I have a video link to the latest video up over at Dare 2B Artzy’s YouTube channel hope you will have a little time to stop by and check it out.

One of my favorite things about the Dare 2B Artzy papers is the decorative trim on every piece. Might as well use those up as well right? This technique could be used to create other shapes and you could use paper scraps instead of the end tabs of the paper so a lot of versatility to this one.

Here is a look at the completed card (spoiler alert is is a holiday card):

Thanks so much for dropping by today, I hope your holiday season was full of laughter, family, friends and relaxation!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
