Quick Card with Dylusions
This is one of the most simple Dylusions techniques - let's call it a basic technique, it's THE most basic Dylusions technique (if you don't count spraying onto card!).
What I used:
- Dylusions, I used Lemon Zest, Bubblegum Pink, Vibrant Turquoise & Crushed Grape.
- Smooth White card
- Water in mister bottle
- Template, mask or stencil - I used Handwriting from Crafter's Workshop 6 x 6
- Mulberry paper flower
- pencils
- Archival Jet Black ink
- Copic Spica - black
- Gelly Roll - Black pen
- Adirondack Paint Dabbers in White and Pearl
- Dylusions stencil - Chequered Dots
- Dylusions Stamps:
- Bordering on the Edge
- How does your garden grow
- Word Love
What I did:
1. Cut card to size
2. Spray with first colour of Dylusions (I started with Lemon Zest)
3. Spray with second colour - notice I am not spraying over whole card. For this I used Bubblegum Pink.
4. Add your third colour - I used Vibrant Turquoise!
5. Add your final colour - mine was Crushed Grape.
6. You can tilt the card to make the colours run.
7. Blot with a paper towel to remove excess liquid - or leave to dry for a much darker result.
This is what mine looked like after blotting the excess liquid - mmmmm bright!
8. Allow to dry for up to 5 mins (or 30 seconds with a heat gun) then place stencil over card - the flatter the card is the better this will work. If you have left the paper to dry completely (several hours or days) then this does not work as well.
9. Spritz with water, add enough to wet the area, but not so much that water bleeds under the plastic. After a few tries you will get the hang of this part.
10. Remove stencil and blot with paper towel to soak up excess liquid.
This is what it should look like. Leave background to dry before decorating. This will never be perfect - but its beautiful any way.
I used my background to create this card, I added a few stamps, coloured with pencils and embellished with a rose. The finished piece is mounted onto black card to highlight the colours.
