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!)
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
We hope thats given you lots of inspiration and that you enjoyed the (naughty!)sneaky peeks of the Tinseltown CD! You can get hold of any of my products used above from
