To mist or not to mist ?

Over at the Color Room this week , 

Dusty Pink, Light Moss Green, Creamy Chamois and Dusky Mauve

 make up the beautiful soft palette .

This blog post title was inspired by Mo's comment on my previous post - 

where I mentioned that misting isn't always

 the best technique to use on a layout sometimes. 

Now I'll try & answer the misting question here for this layout . 

Before starting on this layout,  I was inspired firstly by the colors - 

the Shabby Chic Majestic Breeze pp by Prima  came to mind immediately. 

Next I selected the cardstock/pps that would work with the sketch,

 the palette and my main patterned paper choice. 

& since I was determined to follow the sketch this week , 

it inspired me to use the TA Garden screen which I misted in on the top right hand corner 

and bottom left corner . 

I used GM Black Magic & Viva Pink to give depth & color  to the scroll patterns. 

I also knew that I would want to work in some vines, pearl swirls &  lace trims .

I felt misting here would give a more interesting layer of color & pattern

 for the eventual layers to come. 

Misting with a large screen is also the most efficient way

 to get an intricate pattern in quickly for me  , 

rather than inking .

I wanted the lace trim to have more dimension on the layout here , 

as well as to give it a sort of garland effect perhaps . 

So happy I got over my misting withdrawal now . ;)
