I started with the inner tube instead of the girl today, super fun to add a pattern or break it into bands!
Skin was next, this young lady is lucky and has skin can get a healthy tan! I also colored up her tiny weeny bikini and sunglasses!
Hair and ice cream cone last…ice cream yummmm!
Next I decided on an ink background, three Copic Various Inks and some Yupo paper, easy peasy just drip drip drip.
Little fussy cutting and away she floats! I think I would like to be her today, peacefully floating and ice cream in hand.
Close up so you can see the coloring, amazing what I realize I am missing as I start making cards. My x-acto is hiding in a box still or back in Iowa ha ha!

Papa Bear and New Normal

Hello friends I am checking in this am with a little D2BA inspiration to start your day. I am coloring on the Papa Bear Stamp Set and I discovered as I pulled out my Copics and started that I am coloring a little different these days.

Artists go through phases in their lives like most of us we have favorites that come and go they have techniques that come and go or colors or mediums. I think I am in a “phase” of little to no blending in my Copic coloring. I find myself loving the artistic brush strokes of the markers, the texture that results and the quick and easy simplicity of the coloring.

This might have to do with the “phase” of my life right now! Most of you may be aware at this point that I have moved for the summer and my craft room is split in two. Half sits in boxes in an apartment my oldest daughter and I will return to in the fall in Des Moines. While the other half is exploding out of boxes onto the floor and one table top in my new office in Alaska! So please forgive me this summer as the cards will be SIMPLE. I am a simple card maker on the best of days but now that I am missing several of my larger tools and half of my stash (not sure which half yet) the card designs will be basic layering with a few details here and there. Of course the Copics came so the coloring will be there 😉.

Here is the current look of my crafty space:

I look at these photos and I am a little overwhelmed ha ha! BUT I did get a little coloring done for you today so let’s switch over to that! I started with the background this time, not my normal but wanted to save the bears for last.

Sky – BG000 Trees – YG03, BV20, BV23 Ground – YG63, YG67 Log – E31, E35, E25

Next the bears, I used earth tones here and changed from the papa bear to the cub:

Papa – E43, E44, E47 Cub – E70, E71, E74

All that is left is the small details Papa bear’s scarf and a butterfly. I chose my D2BA papers first and then matched these last pieces on the image to my papers.

Scarf – YR18, B97 Butterfly – YR18, Y21 Trim – YR18

I put it all together after coloring the area around the frame with the sky color, BG000. Simple but complete.

Thank you as always for stopping by today! Make sure to stop by the Dare 2B Artzy hope to check out the newest products and doings! And don’t forget to tune in to the challenge each month for your chance at a little Dare 2B Artzy prize.

Dare 2B Artzy Papa Bear

Good Morning, Good Morning, Sun Beams will soon smile through, good morning good morning to you and you and you and you!

Yes I am perky this am probably due to a little lack of sleep! BUT I am here with the early birds to bring you a little Dare 2B Artzy inspiration!

I am in a quick and easy mode these days. (I know I am a lot of the time in particular in my card making.) I am just enjoying creating, not agonizing over the little stuff. I am even doing some art just for creating sake which I have not done in WAY TOO LONG and it feels amazing. MY plate is full at the moment, but taking even an hour or two a week to just create with friends on-line has done amazing good for my soul!

So the card I am sharing today is in that venue in that I just wanted easy, simple and peaceful. I know Copics are known for their brilliant, vibrant color, but they can be soft and subtle as well. I chose a very simple color palette to work with on this new D2BA image and did several areas with just one color instead of layering and blending.

Here is what the image looks like:

I love the sweet image of papa bear and cub. Then I added one of the new D2BA patterned papers. Now my colors on the image do not match the paper perfectly, but the tones were close. To have them sitting well together I found a cardstock that matches the sky color I used on the image and then separated that with a very thin edge of black cardstock  that creates a beautiful outline.

I am pretty pleased with the end result and it came together uber quick since I kept it light and airy.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you will take a little time to drop by both the D2BA shop to see all the fun products, but also scroll through the blog. Look for the latest challenge and play along! Hey take a little time to “get Artzy” today!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
