I colored up a few scenes with my Copics. I did different combinations of the images and each of the cards has a similar look. Here are the first two the third will debut with a video tutorial next Wednesday!

Here is the collection of markers I used for all three images. It went fairly quickly since the combination was the same on each card front. This is the card front I have created a video for. (Next Wednesday)

Manatees!

Hello friends! I have a little Dare 2B Artzy inspiration as you twiddle creative fingers safely at home. I have a fun new thing for you to try to!

I colored up two manatees friends and then had some fun creating my own bubbles to match.

First here is a closer look at the coloring:

I used my Copics of course and if you would like to see this portion in action I recorded it and will have it up on the D2BA YouTube channel tomorrow! I matched them up with some perfect Dare 2B Artzy papers then decided they needed bubbles. Problem! I have packed all my acrylic dots for my move to Alaska and now I am wanting them. Instead of digging through a few dozen moving boxes marked “craft supplies” you know the ones I thought I could do without for a few months I decided to make my own!

It actually is pretty easy and I did have this out of my boxes 😉

I used Nuvo drops in white and created drops on parchment paper. They pop right off when they are dry and I can attach them anywhere with a small glue dot or a favorite adhesive. The best part…drumroll please.

I can turn them into any color I like, matching them to any project by coloring them with my Copics. Now on the larger drops you can see some inconsistency or streaking in the color. If I really was bothered by this I can air brush the drops and the color will be nice and even. But small things like this just don’t get to me and so I just happily colored away!

My new “acrylic dots” tucked onto my card for bubbles and I added a sentiment banner and my two manatees friends are ready to shellabrate.

Tomorrow I will have the video of the coloring portion of the crad if you would like to see the process. I am showing coloring both dark to light and light to dark on the manatees so if you are curious about the difference and the process it might give you a little insight!

Thank you for stopping by today. Check in at the D2BA blog for more inspiration and new monthly challenges! Remember someone wins some D2BA goodness every month!

Stay Safe and Healthy!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Elf Boots!

Hidey Ho! Happy Friday to you all! Have you seen all the new stamps from Rubbernecker for the Holiday season? I have been lucky enough to get a couple of them and I have two to share today! One of them was featured in a video Wednesday over at the Copic In The Craft Room YouTube channel.

For this release there are several sentiment stamps and I have been blown away watching what the Design Team is creating with them. They are so creative with ink and stencils and… I kept mine very simple and created a shaker.

I used the new stamp as well as a nesting oval die set from Rubbernecker.

Here is my second card featuring the Elf Boots. They are so stinkin’ cute! I tried a new ink with some no-line coloring it’s Called Ink one 3. Worked great and you can get a peek at it on the new video!

Here are the colors I used on the elf legs and boots. The Multiliner I used to add the small detail back into bell.
Here is a close up of the boots and legs. The new ink disappeared right away and even next to the white stripes of the socks my lines disappeared with the lightest touch of C1!
I created a large Santa sack for my little elf to fall into. I debated about a chimney or even the just the bottom of a tunic and decided on this. It makes me giggle 😁

And here is a link to the video of coloring the boots and socks!

To find the stamps and the dies I used to create the cards click the Rubbernecker below and head over to the store!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
