5 Techniques With Dylusions

It's time for another Friday Focus at Frilly & Funkie, and I am presenting it to you, but a little differently. Okay....a lot differently...via video! It's my very first, so please bear with me, and let me tell you that it was no easy feat, hence the lack of blog posts this week. It's quite lengthy at just over 15 minutes, but I am showing you five techniques using Dyan Reaveley's Dylusion Ink Sprays, so grab a cookie and sip some tea. ***Note to self: Unplug the phone when you are videoing a craft technique!!!


The finished Art Journal cover after some more stamping, stenciling, and doodling.
These are the two tags I finished that I sopped up all the ink with. They are perfect to tie onto a birthday present.

The Secret To Staying Young

This week at Our Creative Corner, Kristin Tierney of Lily Beth Boutique is hosting. Kristen's challenge is "A decade" and she says, "10 years ago yesterday, I married my amazing hubby.  In honor of a decade of married bliss, my challenge is for you make a creation with either the number 10 in it or it must contain 10 of the same item (ex: buttons, flowers, repeat images).
If you are looking for more inspiration, then check out the other Design Team's creations for this challenge.

When I first read the challenge instructions, and saw that we were to use 10, I knew instantly that I would use this card that I created for Artistic Outpost a few months ago, because I distinctly remembered counting 10 of these pencils as I was stamping them.  I haven't shown this card yet, so I thought this would be perfect. The photo is an original I picked up somewhere along the creative way. I wonder who she is.
Lucille Ball was hilarious! She was a comedic legend and a real class act. I Love Lucy was my favorite show as a child...they just don't make them like they used to. I love this quote from her, and AO nailed it by including it as well as so many other great quotes on their new release stamp set from March, Quotes & Quoteables. The other fabulously vintage images are on the other new release set from March as well,  Secretary Pool...appropriate name, and I just love the phone and typewriter image!
I adhered the G45 paper to a kraft card and cut one side a little longer to use as the flap.
I stamped the letter head image on the front of the card in Adirondack Earthtones Latte.
I stamped the phone in Jet Black Archival, and all the others in Adirondack Earthtones Pesto. I traced over the sentiment in Glaze Pens for added depth, as well as the pencil tops.
 
This is the back.
