Add A Rainbow of Color

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Wedding/Anniversary  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again thisweek too.

 Please join me in welcoming the talented Ann Chuang as our June guest designer. Welcome back Ann!

This week we are spotlighting the colorful, wonky products of Dylusions, aka Dyan Reaveley. She definitely has a unique style, and always plays well with color. 

 

This week the challenge is: ADD A RAINBOW OF COLOR

Some of my favorite Dylusions products are the line of art journals. I reach for these all the time. I have a few stencils, some paint, and some older stamps, so I pulled out what I had to use. I decided to do a "paper doll" sketch of myself, inspired by Ryan's fun people stamps. 

I began with the Brush stroke stencil and pink and orange paint. 

 

While the paint dried, I sketch a painterly version of myself, and stamped some paint brushes. I colored these with Tombow markers and used a water brush to blend. Then, I fussy cut them to use on the page.

 I took an images from Simple Stories paper, stamped color theory on the label, and added some drippy paint.

 I stamped and colored a tea cup from Ryan's Fancy a Cuppa stamp set, then made it colorful. Now, I have a place to put my brushes.

I sketched myself in bibs, as I used to wear them all the time. I added splats of paint over my clothes, because I do get messy. Well...not usually this messy!
