Friday Focus - Dylusions Ink Sprays

Hello avid crafters and F&F lovers! Anita Houston here, and it's time for another Friday Focus, but it's a little different today. Okay....a lot different! It's via video and it's my very first, so please bear with me. It's quite lengthy at just over 15 minutes, but I am showing you five easy techniques for using your Dyan Reaveley's Dylusion Ink Sprays. So get a cuppa and please enjoy! ***Note: Please ignore the ringing phone!!!

This is the finished Art Journal cover. You can see more pictures on my blog as well.
These two tags were the ones I used to sop up the extra ink. I added a little Distress Ink to finish the backgrounds up.
Now here is a heck of a deal! A full set of Dylusions are $45 at the Funkie Junkie Boutique, but since they are the Friday Focus, you get an extra 15% off this week...wow!!! And...the new Summer Distress Inks are in as well, so I hope your pay day is soon!!! Happy crafting everyone!

    Wow, you totally blew me away with your video Anita. Fabulous job and what a sensational piece of art you created. I loved seeing you how you built up the individual layers. Using a video was so informative for this particular piece. I especially liked seeing how you handled the black section with the bleaching - VERY COOL! Thanks for an incredible piece of work!

    Hugs,
    Linda

    Great tutorial! Thanks for a truly inspiring project and I can't wait to get my sprays out to try these techniques. The section with the black spray intrigues me the most. And the finished piece is wonderful!!

    WOW, this was really neat. I have a few of her inks and I never know how to use them. . . now I will! I almost fainted when you sprayed the black (oh me of little faith) but loved how it turned out. Thanks for sharing the techniques and your beautiful cover with us!
