I have a fun card to share today with a holiday/winter feel and using one of the newest sets from Dare 2B Artzy the Christmoose Stamp Set! This little guy is too darn cute all bundled up for some snow time!  hope he his going sledding or skiing and not having to tackle the driveway. 

I colored up my Moose friend with my Copics:

If you look a little closer you can see I added a buffalo plaid to the hat with my Copic Multiliner after I colored it red:

And then he was ready to be trimmed and hop on a card with some of the coordinating new patterned papers from D2BA!

Hope you have a little time to get crafty today or are at least enjoying some time with family and/or friends!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Pretty Papers!

Hi Dare 2B Artzy friends! Michelle Houghton here to share some of the new D2BA papers today!

Let’s keep it super simple today! I am just layering. papers and adding a sentiment from the Love Birds stamp set.

I used two of the papers from the brand new Blooms at Midnight paper line. And some rich cardstock layers in between.

I also used some of the D2BA dies to create the nested, stitched shapes and popped up the sentiment and it’s base.

Thanks for stopping in today! I’ll be back with more Copic coloring and maybe a video too!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Copic ABS, D2BA Stencil and Sentiment

Hello friends and family! I am hoping you are having a marvelous Monday and bringing you a little creative inspiration to start your week off.

I am pulling out my Copic Airbrush System this week along with a Dare 2B Artzy Sunburst Stencil and sentiment from the Jesus Is My Anchor stamp set to create a simple card front with high impact.

I first used my Copic Markers and ABS to create two blues backgrounds. For this I used the D2BA Sunburst stencil, first laying down a light blue block straight onto the paper then using the stencil and a darker blue to create intense color. For the second background I set the stencil, now covered in ink spray, onto a fresh white sheet of cardstock, dampened a rag with Colorless Blender solution and wiped the excess ink from the stencil onto the cardstock. I have done this technique multiple times and love the brushed effect it achieves.

You will see the top background in a card a share later. For the card today I use the background with the lighter brushed ink. I added a sentiment from the Jesus Is My Anchor stamp set and the seagulls are a small stamp from the Anchors Away stamp set just stamped multiple times.

I added trim and an anchor charm, layered white cardstock, patterned paper and a white card base to finish this simple card. I am really loving the bold blue and white. It has such high visual impact.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you continue to check in on the D2BA blog for new inspiration and ideas!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

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!
