No way I could have done this w/o my Misti. Silhouettes are always hard to stamp dark but silhouettes on watercolor used to be impossible! For this, I die cut the circle & watercolored it then put it back & put the whole thing into my Misti & stamped it like 4 or 5 times to get it this dark.

Here is my latest project, using my Misti! I COULDN'T HAVE done these without my Misti, & I actually have a TON more to make! THANK GOODNESS for THE MISTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) Please check my gallery for my tag here: TAGS! by TLady - at Splitcoaststampers

There is a technique that I believe originated with Virginia Lu and then Penny Black's Jill Foster has often used (see YouTube) where you lightly stamp a scene, then re-stamp LOTS using markers to colourize the stamp. When done, you clear emboss over the scene and then you can add a background without messing up all that lovely colouring. I used one of my oldest stamps for this CAS489 card, and the MISTI made re-stamping numerous times a breeze.

The stamping on the inside of this shutter card was much easier thanks to MISTI. I had to be very careful to get the three words stacked just so to fit in the heart aperture, and then to have the words above and below all line up nicely, too.

I have never thought to use colored cardstock to make the more solid images look nice...I always attempt this with using white and lots of black ink and until the MISTI it would never look nice...
Hmm...next time think like Stef...

Used my MISTI for both placement of the fans and to repeatedly stamp the sentiment with various markers until I got the blend I wanted. More on my blog.
Kia and ladies...your cards are gorgeous. I love my misti. Thanks for all of the tips. Happy day

I used my MISTI with white craft ink on textured watercolor paper to get a perfect background image ... being able to stamp multiple times makes sure you get full ink coverage on the slight texture of the watercolor paper to produce this gorgeous Emboss Resist Technique
I used my MISTI to create this fun little scene ... love being able to stamp those large background stamps perfectly, even on textured & inked watercolor paper
