Hi there! :)Those of you who have been reading my blog know how much I enjoy using mists on my creations. It can be a very subtle way to "freshen" up old papers or just add a subtle sheen to any project. Today I want to share how to create an outdoor scene background using mists.
Here are the supplies you require...
White cardstock/watercolour paper, a box to mist in (so the mist doesn't go everywhere) and various mist colours. I use Maya Mists because I love the strong intense colours they come in and a little goes a long way. Plus, they dry almost instantaneously. (But you can use Glimmer Mists if you like subtle colours).
I started by using the green mist for the grass. The closer you spray, the more intense the colour. My first spritz is about 3 - 4 inches away and then I add another spritz about 2 inches from the paper for an intense burst of colour.
Then I used blue mist for the sky. You will notice that the paper starts to curl a little. No worries. When it dries, it will be completely flat (unless you spritzed too generously).
Then I added a bit of yellow mist. It's okay that the colours overlap each other...but you can mask the sections off for a neater outcome of course...:)
Some Copic-coloured digi images from Some Odd Girl and my little scene is completed! :)
