KCK's Challenge #3

Lots of fun , new things to show on my blog this Nov

( i did hint ! ) 

and here's one of 'em - 

I'm one of the challenge guest designers  for November over at KCK's blog . 

Check out all the details here .
And all the different inspiration projects using GCD Studios lines.

Working with some of the GCD Studio's Homespun Chic line,

here's the inspiration project I came up with ! 

I shared some details on creating this layout 

over at KCK's blog - you can check it out here .

Let me just share a tip or two here,

 that I discovered in the creative process .

My glimmer misted background uses the 

Parisian Anthology paper called  Architectural Arch. 

After the background was dry from misting,

 I used a wet wipe to go over the resist ink 

 - making sure that it shows up better 

When I wasn't satisfied enough with that  ,

 I simply went over the resist ink with

 Chandelier Glimmer Glam (colorless but with lots of lovely glitter) 

And the result is just delightful to me - 

where the Chandelier Glam went over the misted parts , 

the colors intensified , a little glitter was left behind 

and the resist ink showed up the way I like it ! 

Another tip : 

While I do have a coupla of bottles of mists by now ,

 there aren't too many that I've reached almost the end of it .

 However, the Apple  GM ( from the TA Fall 2010 Limited Edition line) is one of them. 

 When there isn't much mist in the bottle,

 I realised that the GM simply comes out rather heavy -

 close to a splattered effect even !

 I don't mind it at all  for sure !

 love the extra textured effect ! lol . 

But if your bottles of mists are always full, you say  ?

 pour out 90% of it ,  & try misting with the 10% left in the bottle !?!!

 then pour it all back ! ack !!!
