Challenge 52 - Misting

This weeks challenge is a technique challenge - Misting! Sprays and mists are a huge trend right now and one of my my most popular products so we thought we'd give you lots of inspiration to use in your misting projects and be inspired by the projects you share with us! You can make your own mists using mica powder or perfect pearls and water if you don't have any to hand.

Some of the Design Team have been a lot bit naughty this week and used a product that is unreleased just yet and noone except them have seen - I love that they love it so much already! so you will find some sneak peeks in here of my new Christmas CD Tinseltown (more to come over on my blog soon along with release details - it will be available very soon, we are just waiting for the delivery!)

So here are all of the projects....

Claire C

I love these little houses and trees from the new Tinseltown CD (the first sneaky peek!) they are coloured with promarkers and glittered. The background is created with acrylic paint and loads of pearl glimmer mist. I couldn't resist adding one of the little houses from Tinseltown too (you can make a whole village of these!)

Melly

I made a wee card using my mist spray as the background and layered up the fab wee Tinseltown images (sneak peek number 2!) to make a little scene! Coloured with promarkers, added lots of glitter and gloss to finish

Nikki 

I used elements from Sarah's new Halloween Digi Kits

Lisa

I used a backing paper from the Christmas Cheer CD, over stamped with a flourish and embossed in gold and mat and layered onto some brown card stock misted with bronze and orange mica sprays and a cute little teddy bear santa.

Jaine

I made a journal page.  To create the distress effect on the background, I sprayed Sarah's Green ink through a stencil and while wet, blotted it off again with some paper towel.  It blended into the background really well I think. 

Claireliz

I used a Tim Holtz die to cut the cogs from chipboard then layered them up & glued them onto the box, then I  covered this old chocolate box in PVA glue & tissue paper then sprayed with Sarah's Sepia Spray ink, I worked the spray into the cover with a foam brush to cover the whole area & it created different shades of sepia as it went over the whole surface.

I then dry brushed gold & silver paints over the raised bits to pick up the detail of the chipboard cogs, I added some metal washers & a large pendant from an old necklace to the centre & added a Grungeboard keyhole which was also spayed with Sepia Spray ink.

The inside of the box is covered with black paint & paper from Sarah's Wonderland Collection.

Jess

I made a type of box card and made my own mister with water and mica powder in a spray bottle to make my sky.  The trees and robin are from the Christmas Cheer CD.

Clare

I used Sarah's teal in spray to create a background.I then stamped Sarah's cocktail and mitten stamp onto the background,cut,matted and layered with white cardstock and oodles of stickles. Cheers girlies! lol

Elaine

I used Wonderland cd for tag and misting ink from Sarah. Used a butterfly stencil then painted with mica paints so the gold shines in the light, then added gold ribbon with fibres to the handle and used the Alice image from the Wonderland CD as a tag. 

Emma

To make this tag, I used elements and papers from Sarah's Wonderland CD, together with some items from my crafty stash. I then made the dimensional paper rose by punching out some flower shapes from white card and then misting them with a combination of Sarah's Tangerine and Valentine Ink Sprays.

Natalie

I used Sarah's Teal Spray Ink to completely cover the Pink Paislee Mistables Paper. I sprayed some canvas with Sarah's Sunshine Yellow Ink.  I sprayed the flower with Sarah's Poppy Red, Pumpkin and Sunshine Yellow Inks.  The black droplets are from Sarah's Black Ink that i dropped on by unscrewing the mist bottle.

The yellow drips are acrylic yellow ink and the yellow brushstrokes are acrylic paint.
