September Dylusions Challenge.

Morning all. 

Sorry I have been AWOL for awhile but the children have been off on their summer holidays so it has been a bit chaotic here. 

Today sees the launch of the September Dylusions challenge over on Facebook. 

I cant believe it has been 2 years since I set the challenge going. It seems to be very well received and I have had some lovely feedback from those who take part. 

Here is my take on this months challenge which is anything goes with purple. 

The background was created with Dylusions paints in White Linen, Slate Grey and Black Marble. Using a babywipe to apply the paint. (this technique was taught in a recent class I took with Dyan) 

Stamps on this page were from Always and Passage of Time Dylusions sets.

The writing is my own.

The stamps on this side were from Rose Coloured Glasses, Passage of Time and I can see clearly.

The clock faces are hung using a stamp from Bordering on the Edge.

The cobwebs are created using the new Dylusions stencil 'Cobwebs'.

I edged the cobwebs with the Dylusions paint pen white linen. 

The background stencils are Fresh Dots and Flower pop, 2 of the new sets from Dylusions.

All supplies can be purchased from Art From The Heart.

Thank you for coming by today. 

Special Birthday.

Morning all. 

Its my turn over on the Saturated Canary Blog today and I have a page from the book I had created previously to share with you.

I used the digi Special Birthday you can get her HERE

The background papers and stickers are from Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar collection. 

I coloured her with a combination of Promarkers and Copics. 

Dont forget to pop over to the Saturated Canary shop to stock up on your Digi stamps before the shop closes at the end of the month. 

Enjoy. 

New Dylusions Step by Step Tag

Using the new Dylusions releases I have created a step by step project for you.

Here is the tag. 

You will need a #12 Dylusions Tag, Pure Sunshine and Slate Grey paints and Triangles small stencil.

 Using a brayer apply the pure sunshine then the slate grey paints. Then using a mini blending tool and the slate grey paint add some triangles.

Using the stamp from the Anatomy of a Page set I stamped across the middle of the tag using Archival ink. 

 

Using the stamp sets Puddy Cat and Always I stamped out some images and cut them out. 

Using a Dylusions paint pen I wrote across the tag.

I then positioned the stamps where I thought I would want them before sticking them down.

Using the colouring tool of your choice, colour in your images.

As a finishing touch I added some Ranger Stickles in Crystal to the wings. 

I hope you enjoyed this, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 

Enjoy.

Coffee App

Morning all.

Its my turn over on the Saturated Canary Blog today and this is my creation.

I have created a small book to practice my colouring and also to use up some of my left over bits of decorative papers. 

This is the front cover.

I have used Saturated Canary digi image Coffee App and you can find her HERE

The decorative papers are all from Graphic 45 An ABC Primer collection. The words are a Dylusions stamp set called Word Love, which I stamped onto sticky backed canvas which I had covered with Tim Holtz Distress ink Vintage Photo.  

I coloured the image with both Promarkers and Copics. I am slowly collecting more Copics and so need lots of practice. 

Hopefully I will be back soon with some of the inner pages of the book. 

Have a great day.

Sarah Emily Selfie

Morning.

Just popping in today with my latest creation for the Saturated Canary Blog.

Today I created on a Canvas Board using Sarah Emily Selfie digi stamp.

I coloured her with a combination of ProMarkers and Copics.

The background was created with Dylusions paints with scraps of Graphic 45 papers and some Small Talk stickers. 

I then went over the whole background with collage medium. After the medium had dried I then added some distress crayons for a blended look.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Bye for now.

Witchkeys

Afternoon everyone. 

I have my latest Saturated Canary Design Team make to share with you today. 

I used Witchkeys digital stamp from Saturated Canary. I coloured it with my Promarkers and copics. 

This is on a 9x12" canvas board from Ranger.

I used Dylusions Paint on the background in Dirty Martini and Squeezed Orange. 

I used Dylusions stamp set Bits and Bats for the spider webs and Bits of This for the spider. 

I used some watered down black paint to splat with. 

The stencil was Dylusions Diamonds in the small size. I put Ranger Texture paste through the stencil to create some dimension. 

After covering the whole thing with Tim Holtz Distress Collage medium I then went to work with the new Distress Crayons blending all over the canvas.  Before finally going round the edge of my characters with a black Stabilo pencil and blending. 

Supplies were from

Step by Step Dylusions Tag

Today I have a step by step tutorial for you.

I posted a tag on the Dylusions Facebook Challenge last month and was asked to do a step by step.

This is the tag.

You need a #12 tag.

Dylusions paint. For this one I used Squeezed Orange and Vibrant Turquoise.

(For the original I used Bubblegum Pink and Fresh Lime)

Pop some onto you craft mat. (Remember you don't need a lot)

Using a brayer work the paint in a little. (any spare paint put it onto a journal page, so no waste)

Roll over the tag.White spaces are fine, no need for perfect coverage.

Taking an even smaller amount of your darker colour, put it on your craft sheet.

(See you only need a tiny amount)

Using the brayer again go over very lightly in a few places.

Taking your chosen stencil (I used Diamonds from Dylusions) go through the stencil, in small areas with your darkest colour.

These are the stamp sets I used.

Stamp out the parts you need.

Cut them out.

Using the journal block and the border stamp from Around The Edge set.

I stamped up both sides.

Using Dylusions inks in corresponding colours, colour the circles up the side 

in alternate colours.

Taking your numbers stick them down across the bottom of your tag.

For this tag I used the folowing Pro Marker and Copic markers to colour my images.

Colour in your remaining elements.

Stick them down onto your tag.

Using a white pen I outlined some of the Diamonds. 

Take a piece of ribbon in a corresponding colour and add to the top. 

Your done.
