Dyan's White Linen Technique...

Good Evening Everybody!

You asked for a Dylusions page from scratch so here it is!  When I was at CHA last, I hung out with my gal pal Lady Dy to see this amazing new technique using the Dylusions White Linen Ink Spray.  It makes those BRIGHTS turn into really cool pastels.  I loved this so much, I wanted to show you how it's done.  So here we go....

I pulled out my Dylusions Creative Journal.  This time instead of water I added the White Linen Dylusions Ink Spray to both pages of the journal.  (Make sure you shake this stuff up.  It's got a little metal ball to help mix the goodies inside.) I sprayed the pages completely with the White Linen Dylusions Ink Spray.  I couldn't remember whether she spritzed it with water after, so I just used the White Linen spray.

Next, I chose Cut Grass, Vibrant Turquoise and Bubblegum Pink for my page colors.  I sprayed BIG puddles of the Bubblegum Pink in the bottom right and top left corners, then the Vibrant Turquoise in the other corners.  I filled the center with Cut Grass. 

This is where the magic happens!  At least for me!  I LOVE THIS PART!!!!  Can You Tell???... I could do backgrounds all day just because of this step!  Close the book and let all the colors MELD together forming their MAGIC!  Open the book and Voila! Instant Goodness!

I then took my heat gun and dried the pages a bit.  There is lots of ink on these pages and this helps speed up the process.  As Dyan says, "Don't Cook It...Just Waft It."   Well, I wafted just to the point of cook...LOL!

Now that the pages were dry, I used the White Linen Spray on Dyan's Stamp pad and stamped the new The Write Words to the background.  For added background noise I used the new Graphic Backgrounds Brick and the Circles stamp.  Now it was time for Dylusions Fancy Florals stamp all around the border.  I did this with Ranger's Black Archival Ink.  I used another size flower from Dyan's set and over-stamped around the flowers.  Last, I added another flower with the bleaching technique.  I doodled around the flowers with the Uniball Signo white pen and a black Sakura Micron.  I used some of Dylusions leaves and stamped them into the border as well.

Now that I had the page/border where I liked it, I added some thin little Popsicle sticks for a trellis to the left page.  I whitewashed the trellis with the White Linen Ink.  I added a flower and some leaves...Done...

The Trellis with Flower and Leaves....

Last, I free handed a leaf, dolled it up with the same sprays I used earlier, glued it to the page and journaled on it...

That's it...Hope you like....

Have an Awesome Sunday Y'all!
