The challenge today is 'Misty'. I do not have a lot of mists but I put some mica powder into a spritzer bottle, shook it up - and spritzed. The stamp is my current favourite from Crafty Individuals and I have used a favourite technique too. I spritzed some old dictionary pages in red and in blue, stamped and cut out the balloon and stuck it down in alternating colours, to give a relief effect. I have gone off honeycombe paper a bit because it is a flat colour. Once the tag was assembled I spritzed the whole tag again in red mist, distressed the edges in worn lipstick and black soot distress ink, added a journey tag, some ribbon and Bob's your uncle.
I really enjoyed getting messy. Apologies, my photography does not improve, but hope you like the result. I always appreciate comments, so please do leave me one. Have a lovely day out there in blogland.
I have also entered this into Fashionable Stamping Challenges (fashionablestampingchallenges.cottagecrafts.ie/) - bingo using the diagonal line of metal distress and vintage. . Also entered into Patties Creations Design Challenge
