Now is the Time – Art Journaling with Dylusions (Tutorial)
Dylusions Tutorial
Hello! I'm sharing a page I made today with Dylusions Ink Sprays and a stencil Seth Apter created for StencilGirl Products. Blue link are affiliate links. I'll receive a small commission if you purchase products through my links. It won't affect your purchase price at all.
I applied some modeling paste through a script stencil onto a plain page to start. It dries quickly and gives a nice raised dimension:
And then I applied three colors of Dylusions Ink Sprays with some water on top of the page. You'll see below that I like to use tags to ‘mop up' the excess, so no color is wasted.

I’ve created a Dylusions Ink Sprays cheat sheet for newsletter subscribers. It explains step-by-step how I apply the colors for blended backgrounds. Click here to get your copy!
Here's how things looked once I'd placed, pressed, and removed three tags. I ended up using one of these tags on this project, and saved the other two for another day.
And here's a peek once the page was dry and I'd done a bit of light stenciling with Distress Inks:
Finally, I attached to the tag to the page and did additional stamping and stenciling. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

Have you heard about the Mixed Media Art Membership Group? It's a monthly membership that I host that includes facilitated learning through a Project of the Month (with closed-captioned video instruction), Themed Challenge of the Month, a live Zoom Create-Along Session where we all work on our art together, and lots of resources such as the Project Vault, Technique Vault and Resource Library. Best of all is the supportive and inspiring community we enjoy in our private Facebook Group and the gated private forum on the site where I host the videos and resources.

Beautiful colors. I haven’t used the Dylusions Ink Sprays. I like the way you’ve used them here.
Great tutorial and a lovely finished page!
Oh Wow! This is so great! Thank you, Marjie! Good lighting is always appreciated, and OttLight is one of the best. Thank you everyone! And I so appreciate you sharing how you make your lovely spreads. Your class is great, and these posts add even more.
Love your color combinations and instructions….very helpful Marjie

Cool. Love that dripping pool of liquid goodness. xox
Well done to Debbie on her win! Your page is beautiful, love the blues and greens, they look wonderful. I have requested your tips, I don’t spray often but your tips will surely help me try it more often! Anne xx
Oh, and congrats to Debbie, of course!
Love this page – the blues and greens with a hint of sunshine are so uplifting, and the words intensify that positive message. Great tip about mopping up with spare tags direct off the page. I always do that from the mat, of course, but I don’t know that I’ve done it in a journal. I’m not much of a sprayer, I guess that’s why!
