Something really useful I picked up was that she mops up the inks with the whole kitchen roll - just dabs all the excess ink away on the roll. I had been struggling with this before as the inks pool a lot when you spray them on and I've always left them to dry for ages. This way, you can just get straight on with the next stage - stencilling or stamping or more spraying - Dyan was using her white semi-opaque spray to create a shadowing effect.
All of this was fantastic, so when I came home, I had a go. This is what I did:
I have to say that she makes it look effortless, whereas I had a few crises of confidence whilst doing it. I used the Tim Holtz Random Alphabet mask to block out the lettering, and then sprayed Dyelusions sprays over the top. After mopping up the excess, I stamped with Stampers Anonymous Tattered Elements and a Moulding Mat Lava Lamp. Then I removed the masks and coloured in the lettering with a brush and Dyelusions (as I had seen Dyan do). Then I did some extra detail with a Sharpie.
I have been doing some more and will post those when I have finished them.
