I often use mists on layouts to do splatters but other than that they tend to just sit on the shelf gathering dust, so this challenge was a chance to use them and also to step out of my comfort zone a bit.
For the base of my layout I gave the cardstock a good misting of yellow then at the top of the page I sprayed a lot of pink and then held the page up so it would run down, I really liked that it came out very similar to the tulips in the picture. The other thing I did was use red and yellow ink to colour the wood veneer cards and then used a wet paintbrush to merge the ink to give a watercolour effect.
I am super happy with how the whole page came out and it definitely makes me want to use my mists more often. Now I just have to learn not to be scared of my Gelatos ;)
