Happy New Year! Happy Everything!

January 3, 2018

Happy New Year!I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. I had a very nice Christmas spent with family and friends. I even enjoyed a solid week away from work with minimal interruptions which was a treat.

I’m here to share a sneak peek of some exciting new releases coming out in February for Dare 2B Artzy. Talk about Happy Everything!! I’m so excited to get my hands on these new releases. There are lots of fun new goodies coming out and you’re going to love it!

I won’t keep you waiting any longer. My card today features one of the beautiful new flower bouquets all tied up with a ribbon. This stamp set is called Bouquet 4 You. I love wildflower bouquets. This one is so beautiful for its mix of flowers which also makes it fun to color because you can have a variety of colors in the bouquet.

I colored the flowers using my Soucolor pencils (available on Amazon) and used a blending stump and a touch of Gamisol to blend.

Once colored I fussy cut the flowers out and set them aside.

I also used a sentiment Happy Everything and printed it to some cardstock and then foiled with some Wild Lilac therm-o-web foil (which is now my new favorite foil color – it’s so pretty!!).

My sentiment was cut to a strip of 3 inches by 1 ½ inches and placed over the center of the card. My flower bouquet was layered on top using some dimensional foam.

I added some sequins to the card for some added sparkle. My finished card measures 3 ½ inches by 4 3/8 inches. It’s a cute, petite card that’s suitable for most any occasion or just a quick hello to a friend.

This new release of goodies from Dare 2B Artzy is chalk full of awesome! You’re going to want them all! There are stamps, gorgeous new 12 x 2 papers and beautiful stencils. I believe there will be some matching dies as well. The new release items should be available for PRE-ORDER in the Dare 2B Artzy store soon. Pre-orders will ship on 2/15.
