Dare 2B Artzy Snowflake Blooms

Hello friends and family. Today I am bringing you a fun twist on a stamp made for a different season entirely.

It is FINALLY feeling a little more like spring and moving into summer her in the midwest. It was feeling like winter was just not going to shake loose! So I pulled out a winter stamp set and decided to brighten it up and re-purpose it for the final change of weather.

  • I used the Snowflake Wishes Stamp Set and stamped them with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder.
  • I used Copics and the Air Brush System to create flower petals and leaves over the snowflakes.
  • I used a cloth lightly dampened with Copic Colorless Blender and lightly brushed the Copic ink off the embossed snowflakes that now look like the centers of the spring flowers.
  • Next I added a a sentiment from the Refresh The Soul Stamp Set
  • To finish the card front I relied on a skill I have not pulled out of my tool kit in a while, Doodling!

Here is a look at the card:

And here is a close up:

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Stencils and Copic Airbrush Bible Journaling

Two weeks ago I posted a new video at the Copic In The Craft Room youTube channel and I meant to share it here as well. It is featuring a little Copic Airbrushing and stencil work in my Bible Journal.

The stencil is another from Stencil Revolution and I love how it fits perfectly on my Journal Bible. Here is a direct link to the video for those who have not had a chance to see it! There is a VERY FAST review of putting the air compressor together then a little creating?

Copic Coloring with Grab and Go

So what is Grab and Go? You still have not heard? Stamp AnnieThing has created new Grab and Go boxes that appear about every other month. Each one has a theme and ALL the supplies you need to create amazing cards and creations. And when I say all I mean ALL!

Below you will find a video showing all the goodness that comes in one of these Grab and Go boxes in fact it was the last one released and then me coloring up one of the images from that box. (There are only a few of those particular boxes left!)

But it will give you an idea what amazing goodies are in each of these boxes!

Here is a couple looks at the card I created using supplies from the last Grab and Go box.

I started with Copic to get the two images I selected colored up.

I used: Skin – E50, E21, E31, E93, E04 Hair – BV20, E44, E47, E49 Clothing – C1, C3, C5, C7, C9, E23, E27 Wolf – C1, C3, C5, C7, Colorless Blender, E93

And a close up of faces:

Then I used several other products in the Grab and Go box. I used the card base, the cardstock, the dies for the frame, ground and trees, the glitter, double sided adhesive and glue.

Honestly the ONLY thing I grabbed out of my own stash was a piece of plastic for the window of the shaker portion. EVERYTHING else is in the box!

Hope this inspires to get excited for the release this Wednesday for the latest Grab and Go box!

Like I said I have a video showing you all the amazing goodness packed in one of these boxes and some Copic coloring too ?

Copic ABS, D2BA Stencil and Sentiment

Hello friends and family! I am hoping you are having a marvelous Monday and bringing you a little creative inspiration to start your week off.

I am pulling out my Copic Airbrush System this week along with a Dare 2B Artzy Sunburst Stencil and sentiment from the Jesus Is My Anchor stamp set to create a simple card front with high impact.

I first used my Copic Markers and ABS to create two blues backgrounds. For this I used the D2BA Sunburst stencil, first laying down a light blue block straight onto the paper then using the stencil and a darker blue to create intense color. For the second background I set the stencil, now covered in ink spray, onto a fresh white sheet of cardstock, dampened a rag with Colorless Blender solution and wiped the excess ink from the stencil onto the cardstock. I have done this technique multiple times and love the brushed effect it achieves.

You will see the top background in a card a share later. For the card today I use the background with the lighter brushed ink. I added a sentiment from the Jesus Is My Anchor stamp set and the seagulls are a small stamp from the Anchors Away stamp set just stamped multiple times.

I added trim and an anchor charm, layered white cardstock, patterned paper and a white card base to finish this simple card. I am really loving the bold blue and white. It has such high visual impact.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you continue to check in on the D2BA blog for new inspiration and ideas!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
