Here's another page from my Green Button Retreat last weekend - from a misting and masking class by Ali. She generously shared dozens of misting inks, masks and templates so that we could all have a few goes with her techniques. This was my third (and final) attempt!!
It was all a bit random and uncontrolled for my mathematically ordered brain - but once I stopped trying to control the spray and allowed myself to "go with the flow" I really enjoyed myself. Thank you Ali for your generosity - perhaps I'll put some mists on my birthday list!
I used Ali's cogs and sequin waste masks plus two colours of blue and a lovely delicate shimmery mist to tone perfectly with No.3 Child's photos of a street artist we'd seen in Las Ramblas in Barcelona.
I used gold acrylic paint to stencil through the waste from a chipboard question mark and painted a variety of chipboard letters with a thick and lumpy layer of paint for my title. I don't know what I'd do without chipboard alphas in my supplies - I buy white or plain and cover them with paint, paper, embossing powder to go with my projects - they are so versatile!! Do you like chipboard? Why not check out what other people have been doing with chipboard here at Scrapbookers Anonymous. I'm also playing along with ATDML's A-Z challenge - with C for Cosmic Shimmer!
That's a beautiful background! I'm with you when it comes to chipboard letters - I love to paint them - in fact that's what I was doing 5 mins ago!

I LOVE your misting...it's something I really am not comfortable with..I should really practice a bit more I think..the shade of blue is fab!

ReplyDeleteI do love a bit of misting! If you get a chance, check out the October Afternoon inks. I love their colours.
ReplyDeleteChipboard? It's a love/hate thing with me. I have chipboard phases.
Lovely shimmery background! and I love the way you'd done your title - I'm not a chipboard fan (too lumpy!) but this is really effective.
ReplyDeleteI really love this! I'm just getting into mists etc myself and I do need to be brave about them. I really like the colours and the effects in yours and I love the placement and the chippie title the most.
ReplyDeletechanging the colour and texture of alphas is why my white/black alpha collection is overflowing, and doesn't explain why I end up picking up others just 'cause they look so good.
ReplyDeleteI've played with misting but even after having a one on one with the Tattered Angels demo after hours at Stitches it is still a wee bit messy for me.
