All Eyes On...Color Misting

This month, here at The Studio, we are turning All Eyes On Color Misting. It seems to be everywhere lately, and for great reason. Color misting is so versatile and fun! Some of the more popular mists are Maya Mist and Glimmer Mist. You can use them to add color and/or sparkle to a project, with masking, to color with, or even to tint ribbon.

So each of us have created projects with a focus on this fabulous medium. I chose masking. I know...surprise, surprise. LOL I started with a Kraft card stock square, and placed a sticker to use as my mask in the center. To catch the over spray, I put the square in a shallow box and then lightly misted the entire piece with Chalkboard Glimmer Mist in Hot Chocolate. I really like the Chalkboard line, it has a bit less glitter in it and is more opaque than the regular line. I found it easiest to add one layer at a time and allow to dry between each layer until I achieved the desired depth.

The rest of the card came together quite quickly. I added some faux stitching and discovered this color combo by accident, but will definitely be using it again. PTI's Aqua Mist, Scarlet Jewel, Kraft, black and white. Love it.

The rest of the design team has some great stuff to share as well, be sure to check them out for some more misting fun.
