Claire Layout with Homemade Spray Mist
I love misting however, I always want to mist with a color I don't have or I want it to match the ink I am using on the layout. Close to My Heart has a perfect solution:
For the best spray result I hold the pen at a 45 degree angle and 6" away from my paper. Be sure to play with scrap paper first until you get a feel of how to spray so it does not glob or pool.
Here is the cardstock I misted before I created anything.
Here is the final project.
- Create A Shade Pearl Paint ($2.95)
- Exclusive Re-Inker, available in 42 colors ($4.25)
- Spray Pen (3 for $3.95)
There is no exact recipe as it depends how dark you want your spray. I typically use 8-10 drops of re-inker, a small dab of pearl paint and then carefully fill the spray pen with water. Shake well and then spray on your cardstock, patterned paper or embellishments.

Besides the spray mist, I also used the Claire paper pack, Outdoor Denim Cardstock both from Close to My Heart and some miscellaneous silver flourishes.
