Special Ops:Mist, Splatter, Punch Card

Project:Incredible You

Today's special ops lets you get out that mist and make a BIG mess but still have a tidy project to show for it...the best of both worlds!

The crisp black and white layers of this card make a perfect canvas for these bright shapes. Layers of mist make the shapes truly exceptional. But who has time to mist and splatter and blot all those little crowns? Not you! Follow these easy steps for a one-of-a-kind look, and get it done all at once.

Step 1:

Spray mist on to heavy cardstock, spread mist with paper towel, let dry.

Step 2:

Splatter mist on to cardstock, let dry.

(This will leave vague, medium splotches.)

Step 3:

Splatter another layer of mist onto cardstock, blot with paper towel after 30 seconds, let dry.

(This will leave dark, small splotches.)

Step 4:

Splatter cardstock with water, blot with paper towel after 30 seconds, let dry.

(This will leave bright, white splotches.)

Step 5:

Punch shapes from misted cardstock. Assemble card.
