Distressingly Misty!


Hi All! Well, we are back on schedule with the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge over at Studio L3. This week--Distress Misting Masks found on page 60 of this marvelous book!


Now, on my initial flip through, I couldn't wait to try this technique out as I have spent a small fortune on Tattered Angels Mists, and will probably never use up a whole bottle, and these mini-misters make so much more sense!! (And cents!! LOL!) Unfortunately, it hasn't warmed up at all, and with the howling winds, I sorta blew the space heater (smoke alarm, nasty smell--good thing nothing is totally airtight so it cleared out well with the drafts) so, with the threat of hypothermia, I did this one FAST!! My color combo, which is hard to see in the photo, is peeled paint and green patina perfect pearls. I have made up three misters with my most likely used combo's. I can't wait to play some more with these!
So, have a good week everyone..stay warm if your in cold weather clime's, and stay crafty!!
