Getting messy with mist and ink

Got a little grungy and messy.

Well if your fingers aren't inky and messy

you ain't scrappin'.

Ever since I was introduced to ink and applying

it around the edges of papers, embellishments and really

anything else that could use a bit of ink,

 I fell in love with ink.

It does add dimension and cohesiveness to a page.

And it makes it look pretty or grungy.

 And then mists came along and they just add that

little bit of messy-ness that can take

a plain page or a little bit of white space and give it

some dimension and cohesiveness.

And then there are those times when I just get carried away

and the mists and inks go everywhere.

I'm fine with that - because its either that or I have to start all over again

with probably with the same results.

As I was putting this page together, I pulled out my red mist

and found that the background paper 

(of which I can't think of the mfg at this time)

was more orangey-red than red.

So I added orange mist to be more compatible and it went everywhere

and of course on the photo as well.

Dabbing it off while seemed like a good idea at the time but only

made it smearier in some places.

Ya just got to roll with it.

Love how the page came together inspite of myself.

I used the orange mist to draw lines around the page to frame it.

Isn't that camera adorable???
