Today I am sharing this stunning card inspired by the Coloring Book trend that is so popular now.  Whenever someone shows me a coloring book, I remind them that I am a stamper so I color all the time!!! Anyway I started off with the Dare 2B Artzy Dream Catcher Set and stamped the image repeatedly using a mask to project each image and then matted the background on black cardstock. I then stamped the dream catcher and feather on white cardstock and used my Marvey punch to punch out the die catcher, and fancy cut the feather.  I then colored the dream catcher using my Copic Markers (BG45,Y15, E33, R22). I added the stamped images and the stamped greeting to my card and topped it off with a bakers twine bow.

Welcome Dare 2B Artzy fans!! Today I am here sharing share a fun project with you!!

Today I am sharing this sneak peek for Sin City Stamps.  Be sure to hop on over to the Sin City Blog  to see the final project and complete instructions!!   

I created this layout today as part of Turtle Soup's February mini crop.  My challenge was to create a project with LOVE in the title, but to not use red or pink.  This layout also features one of my favorite things to do... recolor letter stickers.  I used Heidi Swapp silver glittery stickers and colors them brown with my Copic markers.  I also created the large doily using my Kreaxions circle cutter and the Positioning stencil and Kreaxions punch #304.

The Petaloo Color me Crazy flowers are by far my favorite flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that they come in all sizes and flower shapes. I love everything you can do with them. You can use them as is as a white flower, you can spritz then with Smooch spray or glimmer mist, you can stamp on them you can cut the 5 petal one and make them into butterflies, you can color them with copics ...which is kinda what I did here. I used a copic marker to color just the edges of the flower to match the paper. I then made the layered flower using this technique that Kathy linked up for us on the message board . The colors in the first card are a little off. (I really think my camera photo software is a little funky it doesn't always do what i want it to do :( ) The second picture shows the true colors. Looking at the close up I now think I could/should have added a touch of Glossy Accents or glitter to the flower edges. So, what have you done with these flowers??? Don't miss these flower...

I really am enjoying myself playing with these stamps! They have just been a blast and there are just so many possibilities with them. I made this invite mainly for a boy (cuz I really think the scrappy world is lacking boy cards) but it could easily be changed to a invite for a girl party by changing the dragon to a princess. If you have these stamps show me your ideas for them :D if not they really are super fun!! oh and see the "grass" I used the fire part of the stamps to stamp the grass :D

I love all the variety of cards I can create with these stamps! SOOOO much fun! I thought this card would be perfect for weddings or even anniversaries. And once again I am experimenting with my copics! I was hoping to have a card kit to share with you... but all I can share is a picture since it has already sold out. It didn't even make it to Creativity Boutique as Gerrianne took it to a local crop she was hosting to show off and tease about the online card kits coming soon to Creativity Boutique!! but I can promise you that it will be worth the wait! I have seen the Card kits that the CB gals have created for you and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I added some prima flowers (addons from March KnK Kit) and the large center flower is made from 3 COLOR ME Crazy flowers from March kit! I used copic markers to color in the flower.

I am having so much fun playing with the Dragon Tower set from Stampendous! The possibilities seem endless! I made this thank you card using this set and the Princess Stamp. I used my copics to color in the images. I added some glitter to the princess because every princess needs a little glitter ;). Be sure to check out these stamps!

I found another source for stamps. (Insert eye roll here) They got me with the cutest nutcracker stamps (and I think the only nutcracker stamps I have ever seen). So I made this card using one of their stamps sets and papers from KNK's Novmeber Kit! You can get these stamps at Clear Dollar Stamps and the Kit at KNK .

SO I was walking thru Hobby lobby a week or so ago and what do I find but COPIC Markers and they are on sale... Now I have heard all the rant about them and have been dieing to try them out!! so i picked up a few (like 10!!!!) then I went back and got a few more :D Then my Stamps from Creativity Boutique came in!!! I happened to have an hour or so of free time .... new stamps + new markers+ free time = sounds like fate to me :D And this is my result!!!!! not bad for a first try or so with the COPICS !!
