Mister Huey's

Hi Everyone! Lisa and I were asked to showcase the gorgeous new Studio Calico State Fair colors of Mister Huey for this post, and I decided that it would be a fun opportunity to play a bit - using the new wood veneer butterflies as a misting mask. I created the focal accent for my Hello Card using this technique.

Simply punch a large circle from cardstock and select the shape butterfly you'd like to "mask" with. Use just a tiny bit of adhesive on the backside of the butterfly to adhere it to the middle of your punched cardstock circle. Mist ALL OVER (!!!) and repeatedly until you have the saturation level of color you'd like. I used the very vibrant Bonnie Blue mist here. Then peel back your veneer butterfly, and accent the misted shape with a butterfly rubon and smaller veneer butterfly. Voila!

Studio Calico Countryside patterned papers, alphabet rubons, and tiny punched butterflies complement the butterfly accent on my card. I have to say that I love the way that everything mixes and matches so easily from the two new lines.
Supplies: Mister Huey's Bonnie Blue, Lemonade, Calico White; Butterflies Yellow Graph Rubons; Alpha Blue Rubon; Countryside Harvest Paper; Countryside Betsy Paper; Wood Veneer Butterflies; Cardstock; Rhinestones

Lisa also created an awesome layout using the new mists...
Supplies: patterned paper - State Fair Guess Your Weight, State Fair Pie Contest, Countryside Wildflower, Documentary Window Seat, Documentary Jet Set, Sassafras and American Crafts; tag - Countryside die cuts; stickers - Addy Alphabet - yellow; veneer - buttons and butterflies; mist - Mister Huey's Pickle, Hot Dog, Lemonade and Piglet; other - Tiny Attacher

She says: "I am loving the new State Fair colors of Mister Huey's Color Mists! They're so bright and vibrant - perfect for summer photos. I think Pickle is my favorite, but don't tell the others.

For this page, I made a mask by punching a circle in scrap paper, and then using it to create a border of circles in Pickle, Lemonade, Hot Dog and Piglet. I didn't mask off the whole page, so I got some overspray along the border - and i love how it looks! While these mists were designed to match the State Fair papers, I find they're versatile enough to match almost anything - I snuck a little Countryside & Documentary onto this page, as well as some papers from other companies."

I hope this gives you some great ideas for using the new Mister Huey's!
