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!

Stamp AnnieThing May Release Day #1

This month’s release is a MYSTERY! Find the clues to discover our 3 new images with coordinating outline dies, A Heart Puzzle Die, A new word die, a new stencil, and some fun extras.
Meet the sophisticated Nigel-I Detect An Amazing Day

I decided this month to go with an old Schoo look. All three images remind me of old movies so I tried for the old film sepia tones. I used my Copics but limited myself to only my Earth tones. As you might have seen me do this before there is a huge range of color within the Earth tones so it is a favorite challenge to myself.

Here is a close up of Nigel, his hair is a fun challenge in itself!
Back out a little and now you can see all of him.
Colors used:
Skin – E30, E21, E31, E04
Hair – E43, E44, E47, E49
Coat – E81, E84, E87
Scarf – E04, E09
Pant and shirt – E71, E74, E77, E79
Shoes – E43, E47
Here is the full card, I also used the new word die cut and stencil! The stencil I ran through my die cut with my silicone matte and then sanded the paper down to show the relief!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Make sure to stop by Thursday and Friday to check out the rest of the new release!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Pastel Pedal Pusher

Hello Family and friends if you know me at all you know as the sun returns and at minimum clears the snow and ice from the trails there is one thing on my mind BIKING! My husband and I are avid bikers (yeah it is how I break bones) but we love it!

The trails are clear and even thought the temperatures still waiver and the wind is not cooperating we have been out on our wheels several times already!

What does all of this have to do with today’s Stamp AnnieThing DT post? Well take a look!

I have a Copic colored card front that fits into the theme week we started this week, Pastel Colors! I used the Julie-Enjoy the Ride stamp and colored the full card front with Copic Markers, keeping the colors in the light range, you’ll notice the value # on all the Copics is 4 or below, lots of 0, 1 and 2s. The few that are darker went on the tires of the bike!

Here is a look at her face close up!

And backing out so you can see the full card, I just trimmed and added the image on to a white card base. Copics bleed through paper so adding a card base underneath is a must for me.

Add your pastel inspired cards over at the Stamp AnnieThing Fan page on FaceBook!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Stamp AnnieThing April Release Day #3


 It's April!  I have to admit, the year is flying by, but this month's release is out of this world!
 
  Day three consists of our latest stamp, Leah- shoot for the stars, !   
 
 `~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Leah – Shoot For the Stars is the last in our little series this month. I pulled out one more unique color combo to finish off my images for the month.
Blues and violets set off Leah’s fun hair do! I added a little sparkle onto her star tattoo as well.
Backing out a little you can see the die cut word art, I used some of the silver and glitter yardsticks from the March Grab and Go kits. I also used two of the star charms from this release. I used metal wire cutters to snip off the loops!
The background is Copic Various Inks on a glossy photo paper.
And here is the full card!

Thank you so much for stopping by today and following along with the April release!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
