A Floral Dream

A few weeks ago I was able to FINALLY get my hands on a set of the ever-popular Dylusions paint from Ranger.  I love, love, LOVE the colors!!  I have been anxiously awaiting time to play with these beauties and I cracked them open to play!


Earlier in the week, I showed the beginning of my next project.  I started with a prepped canvas board, with one coat of gesso applied. Then, using Ranger Texture Paste and a palette knife, I applied areas of texture on the board with both stencils and texture tools.
(I am in LOVE with Ranger's Texture Paste and could easily go through gallons of it on my projects.)


For this project, I made a background using a mini ink applicator and five colors of the Dylusions paints.  I applied them just like I would my Distress Inks, using a circular motion.

The great thing about these paints is they blend really well, just like the Distress Inks. The paints also dry very quickly, resulting in very little down time.  The Dylusions paints can also be written on with pens or markers. In my case, I used the Faber-Castell Pitt pens (both white and black) to add detail to my piece.  After finishing with some flowers and buttons from my stash and a stamped sentiment on a piece of canvas, called this finished!!  :)

I plan on teaching this class in the fall at Cupboard Distributing/The Scrapbook Outlet in Urbana, Ohio.  (AKA My Work)

Thanks for stopping by!
