Dare to Get Dirty ‘08
The Dirty Dozen and Dirty Dozen Alumni are posting challenges all week on SCS!
Check out the Dare to Get Dirty ‘08 Challenges on SCS!!!
Here are my DTGD cards for today!
My first card-
The background on this card was created by using white cardstock , two Mini Misters and a paintbrush with plain water. One Mini Mister had Gold Perfect Pearls (1/4 teaspoon), a dropper full of Aged Mohogany Distress Ink and water. The other had Perfect Pearl Perfect Pearls (1/4 teaspoon), a dropper full of Worn Lipstick Distress Ink and water.
I spritzed the Mini Misters onto my white paper in a random pattern. Dry with a heat tool and repeat until you get the colors you want. After your background is dry and a few splotches of plain water with a paintbrush to get the big splotchy areas.

Oh, Jeanne — wow, these are great. LOVE the background… I have some CHEAP misters and they are not working with this technique. I have got to get some real mini-misters and see if I can make it work ;^)* The LP flowers are amazing, too. Duh! Mixing Colors… hehehe — I laugh at myself in that I didn’t think to do that! So beautiful. Thanks for sharing these!
