Dylusional Dragonfly

Sorry about the pun. :)  The challenge this week at Simon Says Stamp and Show is to stamp without ink.  I knew immediately I was going to be inking up my stamp with a spray.

I had just received my new Stampers Anonymous set with the beautiful dragonfly and decided to use the Dylusions ink spray to stamp the dragonfly.

For this version of the dragonfly I spritzed the spray on the craft mat and smooshed the stamp into the spray and stamped it off.  I practiced a few times to get the color and effect I wanted. 

After I had one of the images I liked I cleaned the stamp up and repeated the process with the yellow ink spray and created a shadow by stamping over the first image. 

I then used the sprays to create an inky background.  I finished off my card with some tulle and gems to add a bit of bling.


 I also tried stamping with spraying the ink over the stamp to see if the image was cleaner.  Here is one where I stamped from the sprizted ink: 


I think that they are cleaner lines on the images when spraying the ink onto the stamp, and it depends on the effect you want. :)
 
 This card is going to go to my niece, I thinks she will like the colors and the snaps bling!

  19. I've been coming here often lately as your thumbnails and DT work really stand out for me with your great use of colours and creative use of your stamps. This of course of another beauty and the layering of the two colours really piques my interest. TFS.
