I Get Misty...

I have a layout and a tutorial up on the Ormolu blog today.  The tutorial is about misting. Say what? For those of my scrappy friends that know me, you are well aware that mist and I are NOT friends. The big misting craze began a year or so ago...and I, for one, was not crazy about it.  It looked messy to me...and only a few people did it really well. I was also a bit scarred from a mist-tastrophe that included a red Maya mist that splurted (yes I made that word up) all over my paper...looking as though I had accidentally amputated my pinkie finger. Not pretty. But, in the past year, the mist has grown on me, especially with the release of the Studio Calico Mr. Hueys.  They are great colors and pretty easy to use.  I'm not about to become a crazy mister and mist every layout...but here and there...I admit, it almost looks good. ;) I went a little mist-wild on this layout, and I did a couple of "takes" before I was happy with the final product.  My only suggestion would be to make sure you are 100 percent sure of your colors before you begin misting. The brown here was a lot darker than I wanted, but I had a limited number of tags to work with and once I started, there was no turning back!
