For months, I have adored the misting that Karen Baker does on her cards. Her ability to use the variety of misting inks is truly inspiring. So...last week I popped in Archiver's and decided it was time to take the plunge. I picked up a pink and a green color and then the next day went back for some blue...so you'll be seeing quite a few misted cards this week.
The first one is for the current CAS-ual Fridays Challenge to use stickers. I love how clean and simple this Christmas card turned out. I used an SRM sticker from my stash for the sentiment and added just a couple of gems.
My next card isn't for a particular challenge...but I wanted to play around with the misters a bit more so I added another Christmas card to my stash. I hope your week gets off to a great start!

Karen Baker, look out! Here comes Lynn! :) Love love love the first card! So simple but so genius! And that swirly "Peace" on the second is gorgeous! :)
Oh my goodness, my jaw has hit the floor! These are spectacular Lynn! Both are utterly gorgeous! So soft and subtle but with a touch of bold too! Your first card for the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge is out of this world (thanks for playing along) and the second is so peaceful! Yeah for misting!
Well I'd have thought you'd been misting for a while from these cards!
I LOVE the first one! So fabby and CAS with those pops of red (super combo for Christmas!) and your second is so soft and pretty!
Thinking I may play with my mist (I only have one!) today but find that everything (including myself!) gets covered in it! LOL!
Hugs,

The misting turned out beautifully on both cards, Lynn!
Misting definitely agrees with you! I especially love it behind the snowflakes on your "peace" card--just like a soft snowfall. Hmmm...I guess I should actually use some of the mist I bought months ago!
wow! It looks like you are an expert already! What does the garbage can look like? lol Did you hold the paper in your hands or with tweezers? I really need to practise...I always get too many blotches :) Yeah, 2 more Christmas cards down!! You are so good :) Love the bling placement on the first and the snowflakes on the second :) Am just up and having coffee in my new mug :D Will leave in about an hour and a half :) Tony comes home today from Wisconsin so I'll have a buffer with dad ;) Hugs!
Don't tempt me to start something new like misting!!! LOL! LOVE both cards! Such a cool look!
Your cards are spectacular, especially with you being a virgin mister and all...
*laugh*
Really Pretty. Love the effect from the Misting Sprays. Your 2nd card is my "fav".
Excellent job on the misting technique Lynn...fun cards!
I can't believe this is the first time you've tried misting!
These are gorgeous Lynn, the first card is so unique and contemporary...love it.
Loving the blues in the second card too :)

Very fun cards! Love what you did with the misting! I only have 1 misting red bottle that I won from simply leaving a comment and have yet to use it, will give it a try!
Great work!!
Thanks for playing at CAS-ual Fridays!

I love this look Lynn! Maybe I need to pick some of that stuff up when we are in KC! :) These are amazing cards! Thanks for playing along at CAS-ual Fridays!
How stunning is the first card, Lynn!! Love the creative idea and design with the misting! So glad that you join the fun with us at CAS-ual Fridays! It would be great if you can share your FAB work with us at SRM Flickr group http://www.flickr.com/groups/1376214@N22/pool/with/6102575535/
