Simon says...spritz , spray and stencil..

Well I have had a fun and very inky time for Simon says this week...with spritz, spray and stencil, so here are the finished pages:

I started with 3 of the bright dylusions sprays, bubblegum pink,squeezed orange and vibrant turquoise and spritzed the page, heating and taking care not to blend the colours too much..
Then out came the stencils to add sprays of colour, blotting and heating in between colours...I love the way Dyan uses the remaining ink for a reverse print of the stencil and did this too..as well as the faux bleaching technique spraying water through the stencils...so much fun!So here is  the background without much on it ..

Then I pulled out some dylusions stamps,and got inky!!! I love the striking contrast of archival black against these bright colours..so not me and yet I LOVE IT!!!!! I added a sentiment from Wendy Vecchi, its face art, a die cut from Tims sewing room..over stamped with Wendy's leaves on the left page and then doodled White details.I added some wings, inked and covered with glossy accents.
On the right page I made a tag , using same dylusions sprays,some gesso through a stencil and inked the edges with black soot to make the edges of the tag stand out..I added some more , stamping White pen, a fab Tim heart die cut..again with the edges inked and voila!
hope are still with me!!!
I have had a lot of fun making these pages and re-found my lost confidence and mojo lurking too!!!yippee !!!!!!

Happy bird-day dt piece for anything goes challenge

It is challenge time again at anything goes and the challenge this time is so far put of my comfort zone...it is polka dots and then birthday..so here is my piece...

I love dots but the birthday part put a tricky spin for me..not that i don't like birthdays , just do not usually put this on the front of cards...am i weird?!
Started by creating an inky background using dylusions sprays and stencils and using Dyans fab faux bleaching technique.
I added a stamped wire for mr birdie to sit on and as it is birthday time gave him a fetching party hat, with dots! Mr birdie was inked using black soot DI.
The sentiment is computer generated and the banner is made from more dylusions stamps , cut out and highlighted with White gel ink pen.
Please pop over here and see the fab pieces that my team mates have created and for all things crafty visit craftden.

There are times when being me is...

Hi there,
Well here I am with another play in my journal..this time it was a bit darker in colour as I felt well , less chirpy, full chirp has now been restored...I even braved some writing..not sure that will be back anytime soon..who knows.
So here is my page:

I Had done the background colours using the fab dylusions sprays a few days before and added stamp detaill using dylusions stamps and highlighted with White pen.The edges were coloured with black soot distress ink and some was added to tone down the colours in places ...I added a Dina wakely, one of my new stamps from artfromtheheart..
Overall I think i am plaeased with the overall page ..I am loving building up the backgrounds and enjoying learning new things on every page..some that will are..well i dont think i will do that again moments!!but all part of the journey!!
The theme for Sunday stampers with the fab Hels is circles,..so I am entering this..

find your wings and fly..

hi there,
well here i am with a quick post and another tag, playing with my dylusions mop up tag..a trick courtesy of Dyan, to use a second tag to mop up ink from first tag...so here it is.

I left the tag to dry and then used Dyans faux bleach technique..of ghosting and some stencils and some inks..i found some fab links to videos here, and have already learnt so many cool things..
Then i stamped a Wendy vecchi sentiment onto some mop up card and stamped some dylusions birds onto dylusions wires...added some stencil drawn leaves and some white highlights

 and some ribbon dyed using sprays and spritzed with water and heat tool dried which does dull colour.., love the mottled colour effect.

journal page no 2, life is made of moments..

hi there,
well here i am and the sun has been shining!!! what a turn up, so here i am and yes , as promised , not a tag in sight!!so now to my new love, dylusisons and my journal..i am hooked, so here is my next page..no 2..

I started by making a inky background and then got busy with my stencils..all the sprays used were the new dylusions colours. then to add interest, or that's what i think i added some stencilling using snowcap paint dabber.
Of course it would not be complete without some distress and i used black soot DI around the page edges...I then added stamping, using dylusions stamps and some indigo blu stamps..some were stamped direct to the page and some were stamped on a tag i used to mop up inks..see I have picked up some of Dyan's fab tips already...i have lots of tags ready to go..but liked the idea of using this as it totally coordinated.

I added glossy accents to the butterflies bodies and then a quote coloured and spritzed with seasonal distress..now i know i can re ink I can play to my hearts content!

I do love how all the layers give texture and depth, although it is hard not too add lots of ideaology..but i somehow think the book wouldn't shut!!!
Sorry, still here?

hi there,
well i have been playing with my dylusions sprays and these bright colours are certainly enough to brighten any day..and yes it is a tag..again..but i promise the next one won't be...so here it is:
The challenge this month at The Artistic Stamper is spots and stripes..so I have tried to add these can you spot them?!!! I started with a tag coloured with dylusions sprays, these are yummy colours and i am embracing this newly bright and colourful side...when dry i used Dyans fab faux bleach technique,stencils,stamps from Wendy Vecchi, The Artistic Stamper and Dylusions to create the background.I added some detail with my white pen and a rose made from the tattered floral movers and shapers die.

Finally i added imagine from a sheets of stamps for journalling from The Artistic Stamper and some ideaology..ooh and some ribbon coloured with dylusions spray...

It is very girly colours, but i am chuffed with the results..although i did scare myself a bit with the PINK ribbon!!!!
