I had some fun playing with the newer (wonderful) Dylusions ink colours and Design by Ryn stamps. Of course I 'need' all the colours since I love using them so much. The one I'm still missing is White Linen. It's a semi opaque ink & works different that the others, it's fantastic. So I decided I would try adding white Acrylic paint (not a heavy type) into a mini mister with water. I shook it up and sprayed, the result is also a neat effect.
I started the background by spraying Calypso Teal, After Midnight Dylusions inks and some of the white Acrylic paint & water mix. I stencilled over top with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink (bottom RH corner) and Peacock Feathers (top LH corner) and TCW mini Circle Explosion.
Next I stamped with white Colourbox Pigment Ink & Design by Ryn's fabulous Sea Bubbles. And to finish the background I stamped part of her famous Water Droplets with black Stazon ink and highlighted with a white Gellyroll pen.
The fabulous quote is from Impression Obsession - D1379 Butterfly Counts, which makes me think about living in the moment.
I stamped beautiful Selini the Moth on watercolour paper with Black Stazon and painted with Peacock Feathers & Picked Raspberry Distress Inks on my craft mat & a brush. I also highlighted her with the white pen and cut her out to attach.
Thanks for stopping by,
Shirley

I think the white is working just as good as the spra-yink would do. The background is beautiful again! The droplets are stunning again! Hope you are having a fine week! Hugs, Gerrina
So very pretty - the sea bubbles stamp is out of stock - oh boo hoo for me! The water droplets are divine - very pretty!

Stunning art piece - love your dylusion inking!
TFS Shirley - you always take it the next level - awesome!
An interesting combination of art supplies, Shirley - and the effect IS stunning. Thanks for sharing your layering techniques. I especially like the sentiment on your card. If only I would constantly remember that it is the moments that matter - sometimes I worry about health issues and how it will affect my DH - but it is the moments that matter. Thank you for the precious reminder, my dear Canadian friend. And thank you, too, for my Shirley-fix today :-) xo
Such a striking card Shirley-love the colours and images you used

I just love seeing those water drops Shirley! They look so real! Another stunningly vibrant creation! Have a fantastic day!
Hugs,

Terrific with the way the water drops echo the texture in your background & the way you've managed to get the stencilling, stamping & spraying to meld into a cohesive whole. I love the way the moth's spots are echoed by your Circle Explosion stencilling too. The weight of the deep blue at the bottom with the softer lighter aqua at the top gives a lovely balance to this.

just amazing Shirley! an adorable piece!
One more fabulous art work to enjoy tonight. This is lovely. Thanks for the idea of mixing the acrylic to mist. (Could this be Helmuth, or just any 'not heavy' brand? gotta try this). As always, I'm lovin' those Ryn bubbles. Your highlights really brought them out. This is just beautiful. TFS
