Let's get Dylusional!

Hi Everyone!

I am here with you today to share a couple of bright and colorful canvases (I am also wondering if canvases is a real word?, for the purpose of this post I will say yes). The canvases were created using the super vibrant Dylusions Ink Sprays, embellished with Flying Uncicorn Adornments, Flying Unicorn Lace and finished off with a few small watch parts. The texture you can see in the background is from texture paste, lace, Liquid Pearls and packing tape.

Mixed Media Challenge - Flying Unicorn

This month I am hosting the Mixed Media Challenge for July / August at Flying Unicorn. I invite you all to please come and play along!!

Large letter stickers, you either love them, hate them, or love them but never use them. I am on the fence, I like them but never really use them a lot to title my work, I always end up with heaps of leftover ones and often odd letters. So in this case I have used them as my background for my entire canvas and I love how it has turned out.

 Products Used

Thickers

Crackle Accents

Dylusions Ink Sprays

White Gesso

Rub'n Buff - Gold

As you can see below I have used different types of Thickers and also used different types of placement, upside down, right side up, sideways. It doesn't really matter as long as your canvas is covered.

A coating of gesso...

To finish my canvas I have added random sprays of Dylusion Ink Sprays. I waited for the sprays to dry and then added a full coat of black acrylic paint. I let it dry slightly (every so slightly) and then began removing the black paint with a baby wipe. To intensify the color I then added a few more squirts of ink spray. To finish I added a few colored chipboard hearts (which all had a thick coating of crackle accents) and a few small watch parts and cogs.

Dylusions Ink Sprays - Art Journal Page (Flying Unicorn).

Hi Everyone,

When I received my latest edition of Craft Stamper magazine from the UK it had an excellent article on using Dylusions Sprays. This article forced me to get our my sprays and put them to very very good use, many thanks Craft Stamper.  The tutorial inspired me to make the below!

This double page started with a nice coat of black gesso around the boarders. I coated two pieces of card stock with paper, added some lace and embossing paste through a stencil, also got out the dusty sewing machine and applied some crooked lines (something I am good at). After this was dry I applied a very light coat of white gesso and when the gesso was dry I went crazy with my Dylusions Ink Sprays (so crazy in fact that accidentally sprayed my pavement a nice shade of teal, one should think about how windy it is when one starts going crazy with ink - eeeeeep!). To finish I glued my card stock into the journal and then added a few Liquid Pearls and a few drops of Glossy Accents.

Dylusions Art Journal Page - Flying Unicorn

Hi Everyone,

Today I am happy to share with you an art journal page created using Dylusions Sprays and Dylusions Stamps by Ranger. I am super happy with how it has turned out, however let me tell you this page was almost ripped out of my journal and thrown straight into the bin. The short story, I created my background, doodled around my leaves and was amazed at how good all the colours and stamping etc looked. For some unknown reason I thought I would get out my sprays and ink up the pages behind, overexcited and over zealous with sprays I coloured the page and the ink soaked through to my previous finished page. Oh oh, a few nice words were said and I shut my journal and walked away. Light bulb moment, I got out my stamps, stamped and fussy cut my way to create a lovely lady with a full head of doodled hair. Under the doodled hair is a mess of purple and blue ink, can you see it? it is possible to turn a mess into a piece of art. All shading has been completed using Faber Castell Gelato in black.
