May Challenge at Dare 2B Artzy

Hello D2BA Fans! I have been in Portland, Oregon teaching Copics all weekend and I am getting to this post a little late and you will laugh because the card I created for the May challenge is a little “late” as well! This month the challenge is Flowers.

Here is the card I created!

I used my Copic Markers on the flower basket and attempted a pansy look. Then I took a D2BA patterned paper and used both sides, weaving it together to create a fun “basket like” background.
Here is a close up of the image. Now I am aware that Easter has come and gone BUT! You could color up a beautiful basket of flowers for your mother, just add a different sentiment.

Hope you will have a little creative time this month to play along and get your name in the hat for a D2BA prize!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
YOUR PROJECT DETAILS HERE


 Have a great day!
I am using another unique set of colors today! I decided once I started I was having way too much fun with funky colored skin and hair!
Ethan went a little blue green with flame like hair. He is floating past a planet that I created with Copic Ink refills on Glossy Photo paper and the beautiful new die cut included in this month’s release. That glitter background paper is from the Grab and Go box from March!
Here is the full card. Ethan is floating through the night sky, obviously he does better in a no oxygen atmosphere than I would ?

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Sweet Dreams- Copic no-line

Hello Stamp AnnieThing fans, Michelle Houghton here for a little mid-weeks inspiration.

There is a new theme week this week, we are challenging you to use some of the beautiful adornments now found at SAT!

I am challenging myself with a little no-line coloring as well on Holly – Sweet Dreams

I chose to use some of the adornments from one of our Grab and Go boxes and I used them as part of the background versus in a shaker card. It took a little time to dot glue and place the small glitter and sequins, but I like the end effect. 

Here is a couple close ups so you can see both the coloring and the sequin backdrop. I just love those fuzzy bunny slippers. 

To top it off here is a link for the video of the no-line coloring!

Thank you so much for stopping in today.

Have a Happy Colorful day!

Stamp AnnieThing February Release Day 1



Happy February!!!
Day one consists of our latest stamp, Oliver- braces.
We created this stamp with add ons.  We know how hard it can be to find special need cards and images, so we developed this month to showcase them.  Create the kids as typical or with the add ons.  Oliver comes to you with add one arm brace stamps.  Mask them on to showcase a special individual!   
We also have a new Retro Squares Stencil and a very cool 8 point star back die.  Use this to frame your images or as a window!  Embellish your creations further with our newly added Heart sprinkles or Valentine Sequin Mixes!


I played with the new stencil and stamp from today's peeks. To create my card. I started by coloring my image with my Copic markers:

Skin – E21, E33, E04 Hair – E43, E44, E47, E49 Pants – E50, E31, E33 Braces – C1, C3 Shoes – W1, W3 Shirts – B41, B95, C1, Colorless Blender

I embossed my cardstock with the stencil running it through my die cut machine with a rubber matte.
I also used a die cut from Stamp AnnieThing. I love these big words that sum it up!

Thank you for stopping by today I hope you like the first look at the February release! Come back tomorrow and Friday to see more?.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
