Orange is my absolute favorite color of mist to use on my projects, so I was thrilled to open my box from Scrapbook Steals and find a bottle of Studio Calico Mister Huey's Color Mist in Sunset! This orange really packs a punch and I had a blast creating my projects. I have a trio of artist trading cards to share today.


To create the background for this ATC, I spritzed the mist onto a craft mat and gently pressed a piece of sticky-back canvas onto the mist.  Some areas of mist were heavier than others and I was able to create a cool two-toned colored background using just one color of mist. Also, because the mist was sprayed onto my mat, I had more control over where the color was added on my project.


I had a lot of fun tie-dying a piece of muslin for the background of this ATC.  I poured some of the mist from the bottle (gasp!) into a small tray and dipped my bundled fabric into it.  I'm thrilled with the results.


I used the mist in two different ways for this ATC.  I saturated a piece of muslin with the mist for the base of the background.  I love the deep orange color!  Once that was dry, I mixed a couple drops of mist into some modeling paste and pressed that through a stencil.


I learned these techniques and many more from the class Mists: Not Just Point & Shoot by Heidi Myers available now as a self-paced course from The Art Studio @ Scrapbook News and Review Magazine.

As a way of saying thanks for stopping by today, I'm offering the chance to win a 4x6" Huey's Mask and a set of Heyday Mistable Thickers to anyone who comments on this post.  For those of you who enjoy my work and choose to become a follower of my blog, I'll put your name in a draw to win a seat in Heidi's class! Stop by again on Monday to see if you're a lucky winner. =)

The next stop on the hop is Laurel.  Happy hopping!

  11. These ATCs are stunning! I love the dimension and color you've added. Sunset is at the top of my wishlist but I am trying to be good and not spend. You may have just pushed me over the edge......

  12. oh BTW: LOVE that you set aside you're career as a biochemist to be a mom! Mega jealous! I was a hazardous waste/food chemist (whichever pays the bills, right?!) Unfortunately due to a car accident im in the time out corner but that just gives me more time to view all the blog hop posts!

    ReplyDelete

So THIS was the page I wanted to leave a comment on and no it isn't lace it's pressing fabric onto a craft mat with mist on it- FASCINATING! Thank you for the huge jolt of inspiration today! I'm going to go try this- I pinned the first ATC onto my cards board- it's amazing how you turned a few floral details into a mini garden! I LOVE Scrapbook Steals! I look forward to their emails at midnight and didn't jump at the Mister Huey package because I had so many already (kicking myself for that!) but I frequently buy their other offers. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
