Yay It is Friday! Thanks for stopping by one more time! I am teaching a Copic College today in Washington, IL, but set this up to make sure you got the last peek of the SAT October release! I took a few more steps on this card and used these super fun stencils to create a full background scene for the stamp. 
In hind site I would have moved the cats to the right a little further right and up, but live and learn ?
I started by using a few of the new Stamp AnnieThing ink blocks with the cactus stencils, and creating masks for the cacti by tracing through the stencil:
 
 
Next I used my Copic ABS to create a sky and ground behind the cacti:
 
 
Picked out some Copic colors and got my cow girl and her painted horse colored up (I realized after editing the photo that I left all the Cool Grays in the bag, I did not use them on this image sorry!):
 
 
Added her into her scene:
 
 
And popped her onto a card!
 
 
Here is a closer look at our cowgirl.
 
 
Thanks for joining me this week for the October SAT release! If you have not had a chance yet check out a few of the other Stamp AnnieThing DT members, they are as usual rocking the SAT images, dies and stencils!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Welcome back! An adorable Lady bug to color up today! I know it is fall, it certainly feels like it here in Iowa but I had a hard time putting fall colors with this cutie!
 
 
Here is a look at her in super close up mode:
 
 
Back out just a bit so you can see the fun greeting. I lost it a bit when I colored the grass so I added a little opaque white so it pops back out.
 
 
And back out one more step to see the full card:
 
 
Thanks for dropping by today, hope you will take a second to check out the other SAT team members. I am inspired by them all on a regular basis!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Swinging Piñata!

Hello all my friends and family! I have some new inspiration for you today using one of my all time favorite D2BA stamp sets, Alpaca Cake.

He he I am so excited to share my card today! I created a shaker card using the Alpaca Cake stamp set and I also used the wavy squares die cuts to create the window for my shaker. The shaker portion not only has glitter and beads it also contains a swinging piñata!

Here is a close up of this little guy!

I realize it is a little hard to appreciate a moving part with no movement however… surprise, surprise there is a video as well!

If you have not had a chance to check out the Dare 2B Artzy YouTube channel yet make sure to stop by! We would love it if you would “like” the channel so you will get notified every time we add a new video. We are just starting to build an inspirational gallery and are excited to build up our viewers!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! make sure to stop back by for more D2BA inspiration each day and check in at the shop for all the fun new Fall and Holiday products!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Copic Earth Tones

About 2 years ago I created a couple videos over at the Copic In The Craft Room YouTube channel that featured the Copic Earth Tones. I explained how they do not follow the normal Copic numbering system and how they can be used to create amazing color on your images. Here are links to both those videos:

There are a few more videos since these that feature the Earth tones but these are the original two, I am planning a couple more in the very near future ? They create beautiful vintage looking images.

Since then I have had multiple people request the chart that I share on the first video. Here is the challenge, if I share the chart and you print it the colors will not be accurate. AND more importantly the original chart has a copyright from Imagination International, Inc on it. SOOOO I am sharing the chart, BUT I am also sharing a blank chart that I created and you have permission from me to use. This is so you can fill out your own, on your own Copic paper, whatever your favorite is, and create an accurate Earth tone chart for yourself! You are welcome to use mine as a reference as needed where you are missing colors or helping decide which ones you might like to invest in next, but PLEASE do not print it out and believe the colors will be accurate!

Hope this is helpful! Feel free to share a link to my blog to share the chart with friends and while you’re here sign up for my newsletter up in the upper right. It will keep you informed of all my Copic College weekends and live classes.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Make Your Own “Copic” Rainbow

Hello Stamp AnnieThing friends! I have a quick splash of SAT inspiration for you today and a teaser of more to come.

I created a new card this week with one of my favorite Stamp AnnieThing stamps, Samantha – Make Your Own Rainbow. Why you might ask, with all the stamps to choose from? Well…maybe it has to do with the fact that she is holding a marker and I like to color it like a Copic! Today not only did I color her with my Copics I created a background with my (ABS) Copic air brush system.

I started with the sky and a rainbow!

Here is a peek how that turned out:

Then I pulled off the mask and colored up Sammantha!

Here is a look at how cute she is:

I added a plane card base, all that color don’t need any more details:

Then next Wednesday I will be posting a video of how I did all that colorful magic! It will be posted on the Copic In The Craft Room YouTube page.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
