Cut It Up Challenge #71-Mist

This challenge consist of using mist. Feel free to use any brand you have, Perfect pearls, Glimmer mist, Color Shine and more.

Lately I have been watching and exploring mixed media. I came across a very talented mixed media artist that I decided to scraplift one of her pieces. Like I said I'm learning so my design and the items I used are very similar to hers. I did substitute some products that I didn't own. I take no credit for this design at all and only appreciate that she is one of the many that are willing to share her beautiful work. Her name is Song Li and this is the link to her blog, http://creationbysong.blogspot.com/

You can view the video for this project here.

One thing I enjoy about Mixed Media is that you get to pull out everything and use things you forgot you owned. I'm a hoarder and that is one of my goals is to use up a lot of my stash this year.

I enjoyed this project very much and I hope to share another one soon that will be an original. 

Thank you Song Li for your tutorial and helping me break out of my comfort zone.

 
It's hard to photograph misting spray but trust me it's there, I even sprayed extra.

Head on over to Cut It Up Challenge Blog to show us your style and see what the rest of the design team came up with. Your work will be seen by many and there is always a wonderful prize for playing along.

This challenge is being sponsored by Colourate.com. You can visit their site for more inspiration as well.

Thanks for stopping by and to show my appreciation I will chose one commenter to receive a package from me as well. May 15th is also my birthday and I would like to spread the celebration. I will only be able to mail to a US address. I plan on celebrating all weekend so I will chose a random name on Sunday evening.
