Playing with Dylusions

Good morning all - I hope you are well and happy! I am both - I think my fasting yesterday was very a very valuable experience - it wasn't even too hard!

Well last night I had the chance to play with my dylusions - I only have two colours until Christmas when I'll be getting 6 more - so I apologise in advance - I think they may become a regular feature - love them to bits - they're so easy to use and the colours are just fab. Anyway - my second make - you get to see my first tomorrow - is a journal page featuring a two characters from the scrapbook stamp society called Eleanor and pickles. Pickles is the frog in the back pack and Eleanor is the girl in the unfeasibly large glasses. She's by Heather Valentin and was a freebie. See Heather's Purimagination blog for details -.here


this is the reverse of the front cover for my happy troll journal (here). I've sprayed the whole page in the yellow dylusions then added a butterfly and flower mask from creative expressions and sprayed in green dylusions. That created the background - then I coloured Eleanor and pickles in promarkers and cut her out. I stamped the letters using the current clarity classroom set from create and craft using butterscotch adirondack as the filler - then stuck eveything on the journal page and added the daisies (from Duck pond Crafts).

I'd like to enter Eleanor and Pickles into the following challenges:
lexiscreations: Anything but a card
IDIC:robynsfetishchallengeblog Back to school
scrapbookstampsocietychallengeblog: Jounalling
craftpunked: Pets
anythingbutacard: Texture
thestampingboutiquechallengeblog: Back to school

Hope you have a great Wednesday - I start back with rainbows tonight - we're starting a wallace and gromit challenge badge so I'm very excited! It'll be good to see how the new rainbows fit in and how the group has changed since the older girls left for Brownies!

Big inky hugs
