The first challenge of the month is when the team feature one particular company or brand and this time we are all using the fabulous products from Dyan Reaveley aka Dylusions.You don't have to use them to join in the challenge but we would love to see what you make if you have them in your stash.

We are also welcoming the talented Rox aka Reddirtcrafter as our Designer In The Spotlight, if you haven't visited her Instagram page yet, pop over, you will be in for a treat.

The theme for this week is...

USE YOUR FAVOURITE TECHNIQUE

I love to create one layer pages in my Dylusions Small Creative Journal using stamps and stencils. I used Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Oxide Sprays, Distress Oxide Inks and Distress Grit Paste Opaque with Dylusions Dyalog Quilt It Stencils, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Curiosity Shop, Specimen and Simon Says Stamp Distressed Vintage Love Notes stamp sets.

I spritzed Tim Holtz/Ranger Evergreen Bough, Salvaged Patina and Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Sprays on to the pages, spritzed with water to let the inks run and mix and dried, to create a light background.

I applied Tim Holtz/Ranger Evergreen Bough, Picked Raspberry and Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide inks through the Dylusion Dyalog Quilt it Stencils using Tim Holtz Distress Tiny Blending Tools.

I stamped the music notes from Simon Says Stamp Distressed Vintage Love Notes, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and the number banner from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Curiosity Shop, inked with Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide ink.

I stamped the large moth from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Specimen, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink, added the stamps from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Postmarked Sticker Book and stamped the postmark image from Simon Says Stamp Distressed Vintage Love Notes, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.

I applied Distress Grit Paste Opaque through the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Spots Mini Layering Stencil from Set 59.

I inked the edges of the pages lightly with Scorched Timber Distress Ink using a Distress Tiny Blending Tool, doodled a line using a Memento Black Marker Pen and added splatters of Black Gesso. To finish I added Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Small Talk Stickers.
