Media Mister Play


Well I got 3 of the new DecoArt Media Misters from That's Crafty with the voucher Lin kindly sent me for my birthday. I went for orange, primary cyan and primary magenta, or pink to you lot!!!
Now I have to tell you that me and sprays just do not get on, but I thought I'd give them a go and as you can see from my first attempt, I've not got any better with them - lol.


Second attempt, still rubbish - lol. I seem to get either too much or too little in the one place!!


And of course I had loads of product where I'd missed the paper, so I swiped it all up with this one!!


So then I decided to spray directly onto the craft mat, added water and then the playing began, much more comfortable with this.


And I got a second one from it too.


And I added more water and this is the third but it's a bit more washed out.


Did more or less the same with this tag. Love how the orange and blue mixed to make a green too.


This tag was totally pink to start with then I picked up the blue and orange after it had dried.

love the "mop up" ones, I think Lin's right you need a firm spray action (something I too have trouble mastering!)for even coverage. hope it won't put you off trying more.

love your mop ups Sam colours look really fab. i think spraying is trial and error well i know it is for me happy accidents and good bases for something else, nothing wasted lol. did you like them? nice that they are permanent. xxxx

I find that having a spray booth (cardboard box) works well for me as it keeps the area where spray under control and doesn't go everywhere. I will be using mine this way when they arrive especially as they are permanent and could stain items i don't want them to.

Loving the mop ups, they are wonderful but i do like your spray backgrounds too. Good we don't all like the same :-) xxx

Great mop ups Sam! You could also try misting your card with water before using the colours, that might help.

I think you got some good bases to use here Sam but I do love the muted mop ups. I have enough unused sprays to open a shop so not even going to look at any others, lol!
