GETTING MISTY AT CFC31

This week CAS-ual Friday’s challenge is a technique challenge, and one that I have not used before.  CFC31’s challenge is to “Create a Clean And Simple project using a misting technique”.

This card is 4.25 x 5.5” and uses a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the base panel.  I masked the oval portion of the embossed panel used Cranberry alcohol ink in a mister to mist the outside area.

The center medallion is stamped with Rubber Stamp Tapestry’s Christmas Love set and embellished with green pearls, a Prima flower, bow and sentiment.

Complete instructions are listed below, so if you want all the details, please scroll down.
