Gosh near disaster with this one!! Just bought a Perfect Pearls Mist and decided to have a go on my latest Summer of Colour Butterfly ATC not realising the patterned paper wasn't that pourous!!! Manged to sort of wipe it off in places, else it would have looked like the butterflies were out in the rain!
The Ice Cream flavour this week was Strawberry Lemonade Punch so I got to use my Spring distress ink "Squeezed Lemonade" (how fitting) and my Summer ink "Picked Raspberries" (close).
Think I need to be a tad more careful with the Mist in future!

- Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

Love the butterflies- they have such a sheen to them! Spray inks are one of my favorites but they can be a bit unpredictable for me too.

Misting pattern papers can be tricky too sometimes :). I love how soft the yellow & pink came out in your design. Cute butterflies too.
Wouldn't this be just perfect for a babyshower? The shades would be perfect!
Loving the great shimmer. Happy Summer of Color, Annette x
Hi!
I'm back again to answer your question!
Paint scraping is easy! Just blob a few random (acrylic) colours on to your page then use a plastic card (like an old credit card)to scrape the paint and make some happy colour combinations.... just playing really.
Here is a link to the place where I first saw it..... Michelle can explain it so much better!
