I am playing with the “What’s the Scoop” set today. I had a little trouble picking which image to play with as I like them all but while still unpacking and running girls about smartly I had time for one so here you go!

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!

I hope you are enjoying some sunshine where ever you are this fine day! Thank you for hopping by!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Here is a close up of the Copic colors I used on my turtle tucked into his inner tube!
And here are the Copics that I used on the water. Putting him floating in the water was an afterthought. Normally I would keep the part under water quite a bit lighter from the get go!
And here he is all tucked into a card. Keeping it simple as always.
And a close up of him so you can see the water effect a little better. You can also see my mistakes 😉.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Bright and Cheery!

Hello crafty friends! I am bringing you a little Dare 2B Artzy inspiration for today! As you read this I will be loading up my car and headed toward the Alaskan highway up north in Canada so I am keeping this post sweet and simple! I do hope all of you are staying safe and healthy, and tucked away doing crafty things if home bound or if you are able to work being productive and safe.

I used two quotes from the BEE*utiful  stamp set to feature on some bright and cheery cards for you today! I used some Copics to give a wash to the backgrounds and also fill in the open lettering.

Then found some gorgeous D2BA patterned papers for the backdrops! Keeping it simple sometimes gives you the most lovely results!

Thank you so much for peeking in today! Hop over to the D2BA shop, there are a few new things coming out soon!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Thanks for stopping by today! And make sure to check out some of the products I’ve used here in the D2BA store!

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!

Thanks for stopping by today! And make sure to check out some of the products I’ve used here in the D2BA store!

Hoppy Day with Kraftin’ Kimmie April Release!

Woot!  Woot!

Today we are celebrating all the wonderful new things in our springtime April Release that are NOW AVAILABLE

All three new stamp sets along with two new stencils, our stunning new hybrid ink colour, Gorgeous Grape and sweet new krafty dots were released yesterday and we’re
excited to share everything with you in a fabulous blog hop!

So let’s check everything out in action as we hop around the Krafty Design Team’s blogs today!  Grab a nice hot (or cold) beverage, sit back and relax while we take you on this krafty tour!

And if you HAVE to have it all be sure to grab our GIMME KIMMIES KIT for this month!  You’ll get one of each product in the bundle and at a discount but for a limited time!

I am super excited to be sharing 4 cards today using the new A Slothsome Day stamp set from artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen! I created two of them and my beautiful, artistic daughter Lori created the other two!

I will start with the real super star, here are Lori’s cards. She used Copic Markers to color two of the images, then created a shaker card for one and a clean and simple layered cad for the second.

Then I created two cards as well 😁. I also colored my Sloths with Copics. I then created some fun background papers with ink drips and smooshes.

Here is a close up of the Copic coloring.

I also adored this mama and baby sloth pair and stole the shaker card idea from Lori to put my card together!

Extreme Close Up you two!

Thank you so much for stopping by today make sure to check out the rest of the hop (link below) and then hurry right over to Kraftin’ Kimmie to scoop up all your new favorites!
