I had fun watching this Serengeti Mists video at the Scrapbook Lounge. I love playing with my Memories Mists, and it was great getting some new ideas to try. I wanted to try it out using Card Positioning Systems Sketch #48.
I created the background for my tree of hearts by spraying water on a large shipping tag and then following with sprays of Strawberry Daiquiri, Orange Juice and Lavender Tea Memories Mists. The water spray droplets create a resist resulting in the speckled effect.
I stamped the DeNami Bare Tree and Hero Arts sentiment in Black Staz-on.
I sprayed another tag with multiple coasts of Strawberry Daiquiri and Lavender Tea to get a deeper red and then punched out the hearts and adhered them to the tree. To add a bit more glitz, I colored the hearts using a red Spica Glitter pen.
The card base is a sheet of Flirt DP (from Memory Box) stamped with the Cornish Heritage Farms Scratched Grid Backgrounder in ColorBox Chalk Warm Red. I added a knotted piece of black velvet ribbon to finish the design.
I had so much fun making this card ... I can't wait to try spraying some more.
Beautiful!
I like the feeling that I did shiningly!
