Welcome to the New Year!

It is a new year! 2020 has arrived wether we are ready for it or not. I am starting the year getting creative with Rubbernecker Stamps. I love this adorable stamp! He “speaks” to me!

I colored the image with Copic Markers keeping the color scheme really simple!
Tiny group! dog – E70, E71, E74, E77 nose – N5, N9, N0 sky – BG10 ground YG41, YG45, YG00

Then there is a sentiment stamp and lots of layers cut with the nesting rectangle stitched dies. Take a look at an angle shot first to see all the layers.

So from the bottom up, there is a card base, rectangle of cardstock, rectangle of patterned paper, foam tape then another rectangle of cardstock and the image die cut with a final rectangle. These last two layers are popped up and set at an angle. Before I attached all the layers to the card base I added a bow of twine wrapping the layers all together.

Thank you as always for stopping by for a little creativity!

Have A Happy Colorful Day!

Poinsettia and No-Line Copic

Happy Wednesday to you all! I am sharing a little Dare 2B Artzy holiday cheer today! I am keeping it short and sweet and right to the inspiration!

I decided to see what I could do with the Poinsettia Tangle set and a little no-line coloring! I wondered if I stamped the image in no-line ink if I could even get the interior “tangle” lines to disappear, giving the stamp a whole new look.

I stamped the image in both no-line ink by Ink on 3 and black so you can see the difference to start.

You can see all the interior lines and now I wanted to see if I could make them disappear as well! So on to my Copics!

It did not take many and I added the sentiment in black and a background to base the flower. Take a closer peek to see how well the lines disappeared!

Then onto papers! I do love all the Dare 2B Artzy papers and I had a lot of fun layering these up!

Thank you so very much for stopping by today! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend together with family and have more family and friend time scheduled for the month ahead!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Holiday Packing with Dare 2B Artzy!

Hello my crafty friends. I am guessing many of you are gearing up for the holiday season with crafty goodness. Today I am sharing a little holiday project I just completed!

Did you see the new Holiday Seals set at the Dare 2B Artzy shop? A large group of companies contributed including D2BA and gives you such an amazing collection of images to use for tags, cards and gift giving for the season! I used the Dare 2B. Artzy image and colored it up with my Copic Markers:

I love this cute Santa image:

He was super quick and easy to color. Then I used some of the lovely D2BA patterned paper to create a gift card box and band to wrap it with.

Dare 2B Artzy papers work so perfectly for a project like this because because even the inside of the box is pretty!

Super fun and easy project!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Here are a couple items straight from the D2BA store that created this fun project!

Winter Ready Bear!

Hello friends! I am here to start your week off right with a little Dare 2B Artzy inspiration. I played around with the Skisons Greetings Stamp set and a new technique creating a sweater pattern! This. is not my idea I saw another brilliant Copic artist giving this a go so I am excited to share it here as well!

Here is a look at the markers I used:

And here is a look at what I came up with!

His whole jump suit is little dots so easy and fun! I added layers of D2BA papers from the new Snow Much Fun line and also used D2BA dies to add a little shape. If you look close you will see I stretched one of the dies a little longer by doubling up to fit the length of my image.

I recorded how I created all that fun texture and pattern with my markers, but the video is not quite ready to go! I promise I will get it to you in the next few weeks.

Thanks for stopping by today and

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
