This week we’re welcoming back the lovely Ann Chuang  into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

Ann created this project using a Dyan Reaveley Small Creative Journal, Dylusions Ink Spray, and Dyan Stencil. Create a silhouette of models against a vibrant rainbow background using Dylusions Stencils and Dina Wakley Black Acrylic Paint. 

Andrea made a colorful collage using Dylusions Intense Colour Caykes and Sticks. The background is a Dylusions Journaling Tag and the stamped images are from Tim Holtz’s Media Marks 2 and Mixed Media 2 stamp sets.

Anna-Karin made an art journal page for this week, with many colors. The page was done in the Dylusions Small Creative Journal. Shimmer was added to the page with Dylusions Dyamond Dust White Linen. The large sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Stay True.

Cheiron created a colorful background using the Ranger Dyan Reaveley Intense Colour Caykes And Sticks on Distress Watercolor Cardstock. She added some scribbles with pencils, a black Posca pen and some splatter with Gilded Foundry Wax and Black Soot Distress Paint. She finished her card with a die cut from the Concord & 9th Framed Script Hellos.

Emma created a rainbow of colour in her Dylusion’s Small Creative Journal using Tim Holtz’s idea-ology Palette Collage Paper for the background of a double page layout. For the focal point she chose a Photomatic vintage photo and surrounded this with ephemera from the Keepsakes pack and Postmarked Sticker Book before completing the page with alpha die cuts from the Tim Holtz Vault World Travel die set by Sizzix.

Kath made a card using Distress Mini Ink Cubes to create a rainbow background, Dylusions Write Now Small Stencil, Dylusions Black Marble Ink Spray, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Wildflower Stems 2 and Alphanumeric Tiny Type Lower Thinlits.

Macarena used a mix of Ranger Dyan Reaveley Intense Colour Caykes and Sticks Set1 Dylusions and Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Crayons Set4 to paint the rainbow made with Simon Says Stamp A2 Arches Wafer Dies. For the background she used Paper Artsy Seth Apter Printed Tissue pt06.

Maura headed to one of her favorite art journals, Dylusions 8×8 art journal. and created a background using the Dylusions Brush Stroke stencil,, sketching herself, inspired by Dyan Reaveley’s figures, and adding some paint brushes with the Simon Says Stamp Pop of Color stamps.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Ranger Dyan Reaveley Ink Spray Bundle of 7 Dylusions on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology Paper Dolls Mini and Tim Holtz idea-ology INDUSTRiAL GEARS Embellishments.

Zoey used Dyan Reaveley Dylusions Longer The Leaf as her main focus on her tag. She also used Dylusion Ink Spray combined with Distress Spray Stain. She also added a Metallic Stickers as Sentiment
