How Goes It?


Hello!
How Goes It?


We are introducing a new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge tonight-In the Mist!
Create a clean and simple project using mist.

I was asked to put a few ideas together for misting: 
• Use pre-made misting products available at your local or on-line retailer.
• Create spray mist using a mix of re-inkers and water squirted through a spray bottle.
• Create opaque splatters with a mix of acrylic paint and water flicked off a paintbrush.
• Add fine water droplets to your background of distress inked paper.
• Utilize an airbrush system or marker misting tool
• Channel your inner child and spray ink or paint from a brush onto paper by blowing through a straw

Now's the time to try mist out, or further your skills as there is a fabulous sponsor,


Please check out the challenge blog for challenge details, rules, sponsor information and lots of inspiration from the Girl Fridays!

Supplies:
Cardstock: (Kraft) PTI
Stamps: (Scootin' By) Sweet Stamp Shop
Ink: (Onyx Black) Versafine
Other: (Glimmer Mist) Tattered Angels
Tools: (Corner Rounder) WR Memory Keepers

    This is fabulous!!! I love the colour gradient you were able to create. And I just love that you're embracing your 'messy' side by cracking out the mist!!! It's done perfectly well of course :-)
