I’ll be coloring Live Saturday the 18th at 5pm EST doing a little focus on coloring hair with Copic! I will be using Kraftin Kimmie’s You Are Mer-Mazing.

Back to today’s inspiration! I decided to color today’s image in a no-line coloring style with my Copics.

I kept the background simple expanding the puddles under their feet and having the clouds clearing for blue skies above.

To finish the card I added some super bright and cheery patterned papers and a few bright and cheery acrylic dots. Did you know you can color acrylic dots with Copics? Opaque white and clear dots (or sparkly ones) can be colored to match your project perfectly!

Next Wednesday I have a video recorded to share with all the coloring. I will link it up directly to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Fan Club Facebook page so you can check there or go straight to the Copic In The Craft Room YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for stopping here today! To continue on the hop I included the link below.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Take a Breath

It is a little crazy out there in the world at the moment. Let’s all take a deep breath…exhale…keep doing that. I am here just plugging along and although I am up to my eyeballs in work, move and the craziness of the world around me I am taking a few moments to share with you the craftiness I created just this morning. There is something soothing about taking a few minutes to color. It is good for the should to sit and create, and to just be.

I decided to color up a one bear from one of the new stamp sets from Dare 2B Artzy this moorning and get it onto a super simple card. (With me there is not other kind.)

The E53 and E55 are the bear fur, with a little E93 on the cheeks and inn the ears. The B41 and B45 are the overalls, the E41, E42 with the Y21 and Y28 are the honey and the pot. I used the BG70 and the BG72 for the background to match the wonderful D2BA papers.

I also added a little doodling to the border of the pattered paper. Always fun to add a little doodle, doodle, doodle!

That is really it for today! As many of us are finding ourselves at home for a few days find a few images to make you smile and release a little creative juices! Send a card to a friend, participate in a challenge (I hear the Dare 2B Artzy team has one every month!😉) And while you are at it,

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Buzzing By with Easy Copic Coloring

Hello friends! I am buzzing by with some super easy Copic Coloring! I colored up not one, but three card fronts in about 10 minutes and then put them all together in another 5. Gotta love quick and easy cards especially when they turn out so colorful and cute!

I used the cute new Buzzy Beez stamp set from Dare 2B Artzy and created 3 card fronts then I colored them up. I used a total of 7 Copic Markers for all three cards. Who says you need a whole lot of markers?!

The marker not shown is a BG000 for a little background color!

Then I used the fabulous new D2BA papers to create 3 quick easy cards!

If you would like to take a peek at how fast these really were to color up, I recorded the coloring portion and will have that video up and live on the Dare 2B Artzy YouTube channel tomorrow, Wednesday the 4th.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Copic Coloring Dark Skin Part 1

Coloring darker skin tones takes a little more time and patience than lighter variations, typically there are more layers of ink, they are heavier by nature not as much alcohol solution in the mix. So it takes a little more practice and a lot more mistakes to get images where you would like them to go. You know me I am always up for a good challenge! So when Rubbernecker asked if some of the design team members would help showcase the new images featuring women and men of color I said sure I’ll give it a go!

  • Base the skin in an Earth tone E11
  • Use a mid-tone and shadow to add shape and depth to the face E13 and E15
  • Blend the colors together going in reverse, E13 and E11
  • Add small touches of a blue violet into the deepest shadow areas BV23
  • Fill the lips with E04 and small touches of E09 for shape
  • Color the head wrap and top in a series of reds R81, R83, R85
  • Add squiggled lines over the hair area of the image with darker colors E47, E49, C9 * note you could leave the hair alone the stamp actually stamps the hair black, I always feel like it needs a little more texture and richness. It is very subtle but effective.
  • Fill the pupil of the eye with a warm Earth tone, E35
  • Use a layer of E50 to fill the background and then go over the entire area with W1, this helped match the background to the patterned papers I have chosen

Here are the steps to create the card:

  • Trim a light piece of patterned paper to 4.25 x 5.5 and attach it to a card base
  • Use a scalloped rectangle die to cut a large rectangle from a blog patterned paper and stamp the lower corner with the “Live On Your Terms” sentiment stamp
  • Using the nesting circle dies cut two circles from coordinating patterned papers, attach these together and then use foam tape to pop them up on the card base
  • trim the image using an oval from the nesting die set and use foam tape to pop it up in the center of the circles

Thank you so much for stopping by today! below you will find links to all the Rubbernecker products I am using on this card.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Thanks So Mush!

You read that correctly! I love a good pun 😁. Morning all,  bringing you a little Dare 2B Artzy inspiration this beautiful Tuesday morning. Rolling out more of the new release from D2BA. I have pieces from 2 of the new stamp sets and some of the gorgeous new papers on my card today.

First I colored up my little image with my Copic Markers.

Here is what that little window looks like:

I am liking the look of the unfinished coloring edges so I trimmed my image leaving a white border around the green grass. and added it to layers of the beautiful new patterned papers from the D2BA release.

As always I love all the options Cindy gives us with the coordinating papers! Lots of fun florals, stripes and beautiful colors! All of the new collection will be available to ship March 15th so start your list now and stay tuned for more inspiration from the design team on how to use all the new fun products.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
