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!
Posted on 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.
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!

Posted on Sunshine Day! Stamp AnnieThing
Hello family and friends! Ready for a little hump day inspiration? Here in Iowa we are up to our eyeballs in snow, ice and cold. So I am ready for a little, or maybe A LOT of sunshine. So since the weather is not cooperating I will just have to create a little of my own.
I stamped up Victoria – Here’s The Dirt and colored her up with my Copic markers
Colors Used: Skin – YR000, YR01, E11, R21, BV20 Tongue – R21, E04 Hair – C9, C7, C5, BV20 Boots – Y32, Y38 Dress – B91, B95, RV52, Y32 Shirt – Y40, G43
Then I fussy cut her out and got her onto a card front
I used the the Shaker Basic Die set #1 and an assortment from the SAT adornments to create the sparkling sunshine.
Just looking at her makes me think of sunshiny days ahead.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hoping you have a few crafty and sunshiny days in your near future!
Have a Happy Colorful Day!
Posted on 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!
