Stamp AnnieThing September Release Day 2


This sweet wrapped up Mummy will love you to death of corpse!
And of course he has a coordinations die!
I actually went for a little no-line coloring on the mummy and coffin, with a very limited color pallet it worked pretty well!
I created the background in two steps, first I used thee SAT hybrid inks and amazing brushes to shade in a darker background, then I used glitter paste through the stencil as well. The glitter is so iridescent that it is hard to see the underlying ink but it is there!
Then trimming and onto a card. I used the “Sweet” die cut from this month’s release and rose gold metallic cardstock from SAT to complete the card.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Hello Sunshine!

Hello crafty Copic friends! Skipping by today to share a little SAT inspiration! Don’t forget to play along with this month’s theme challenge over on the SAT Facebook fan page when you have a chance! Add a little “Gold” to your crafty creation!

I decided to play with, Victoria – Here’s the Dirt, I just love her perky, spunky hair and attitude!

As you can see I covered her in freckles! If you have ever seen me, especially this time of year you would understand why! Tip on freckles if you color them and you think they are way to dark or stand out too much use the skin tone you used in that are and go over then lightly ONE time. Do not scrub them or they will just spread and look blotchy, but one tase with the skin tone can help soften them!

And here is the card she is skipping across, both the word dies and the enamel dots are Stamp AnnieThing as well!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

My Manatees!

Hi friends and family! Bringing you a little D2BA inspiration to start your week off right.

Were you kids or young people in your life ever into Vegi tales? I look at these adorable Manatees stamps and in my head I am humming the Manatees song Larry Boy used to sing “You are my manatees, manatees –  you are the one for me one for me…” Yep I am that silly on occasion! But these stamps are too dang cute!

I colored mine up with Copic:

Copic used: BG90, BG93, BG96, YR02, YR04, YR09, R05, R08, R29

Then I went super simple adding strips of D2BA patterned paper including the end tab of gold fish which I ❤️!

This one is ready to ship off to a friend who just needs a happy hello!

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!

In The Blue

Hi friends and family! Here to share a little SAT inspiration for your mid-week entertainment. I decided to take another run at this month’s release. (With all the beautiful new Stamp Anniething goodies out thee it is hard to remember what actually came out at the start of the month!) Back to Egypt we go!

I love all three of the new images this month as well as the fab-U-lous Grab and Go Box so I know I will be coloring up a lot of these images multiple times. One of the ways I entertain myself when coloring multiple times is to switch up the colors. If I am trying to improve technique or skills I stay exactly the same for multiple attempts at an image, but when I am coloring just to color or play I love pushing to find new colors combos for an image. 

With my first round of coloring the Egyptian themed stamps this month I kept the color schemes very traditional looking up photo references on line so in coming back to the images I decided to start with the  Cleopatra image and go all blues to see what I would get. Even her kitty made a drastic change from a black cat originally to a barely there blue kitty.

Copics of course:

 Skin – R000, R01, R12, E93, E04, BV00 Hair – B41, B45, B37, B39 Dress – B93, B95, B97, B99 Copper – YR14, YR18, E09, B02 Cat – B0000, B02 and Colorless Blender

Then I created an inky background using Copic Various Inks and Yupo paper:

And layered it all together:

So fun! I know I will come back to these images and challenge myself with all sorts of different color combinations.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Make sure to stay tuned for more inspiration and get an entry in for this month’s Theme Challenge!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!!
