Dylusions Ink Sprays

How to use Dylusions Ink Sprays in your art journal (Marjie Kemper)

I used a combination of colors for my background. The bold gal image is from this stamp set: Dyan Reaveley’s Dylusions 8.5″X7″-Surrender. Blue links are affiliates and used at no cost to you.  I love the XL size  – she’s as big as my hand and a great size for art journaling.  After stamping her on manila cardstock, I colored and cut her out before adherding the image to the page with matte medium.

Dylusions Ink Sprays are a really vibrant colorant! I made my background with Bubblegum Pink Dylusions Ink Spray and a variety of Ranger’s Distress Inks and Archival Inks, plus lots of stamps and stencils.

The black letters are from the Sizzix 6 by 13.75-Inch Bigz Die, X-Large, Simply Said Alphabet, which I embossed in a Texture Fade before adhering to the page.

    Love this color palette…and the way you created “spots” of light across the page. I’m learning to speak up…it’s not an easy thing to do. This image will stay with me and help me in that journey!

    Glorious, Marjie – I would usually shy away from that shocking pink, but with the blues and scarlet it really captured my heart in my inbox this morning! Completely in love with the words too…
