Mist-ries Review

Hello everyone,
This is Tejal, from Creative Expressions here for a guest post on DCAM Challenges. I am here to introduce you the Mist-ries Ink Sprays and give you a small review about it. Since I have started loving doing videos, this is a Video review.

But before that, let me take a moment to thank Mansi for creating such a wonderful product and giving me a chance to try them out. It was super super fun day for me..just playing inking and spritzing!

If you did listen to all that talking and are still with me, Thanks sooo much!! I hope I have been able to give you a brief peek into what these mists are and what you can do. What I have done is just the tip of the ice-berg...the more you play and more you experiment, the more you find ways to use it!!

Just a brief summary of my review points...
6 colors - Vibrant as nothing I've seen!! top marks to it for the sheer neon factor!
Acid free, non toxic - So you can use them on your layouts, journal pages anything.
Works on most surfaces - Most porous surfaces will take ink well...Canvas, Watercolor papers, Wood etc...
The quantity -100 ml - I mean this is a definite plus....most of all the mists that I know..they come in 60 ml bottles. But this is like 100 ml (what I am using in the video is a trial set, not the ones that will come to you. You will be getting these round and 100 ml bottles)
and pocket friendly price!! - I mean isn't this the biggest consideration now? After the fact that dollar has reached sky high!! You can just grab them all at one go!!
Made in India!! - What else do we need? Finally a product that is made in INDIA!!

The only negative I can say about these- There aren't enough colors to play!! I need more!!! :D

Please do not adjust your monitors screen ... the colors are this bright...they're almost Neon...and they're just WOW!!

Here are the tags that I have been playing with in the video and aren't they super super bright? Who needs sunshine on a gloomy cloudy day when you've got such bright colors to play!! (super rhymes!)

So I hope you enjoy my review and You can buy your colors here at the DCAM website. .
And do share your experiments with us at DCAM and have fun misting away!!!

MIST-RIES MANIA

Hey Pals....
Today has been a very being and lazy day,for me being  down with fever :( But still could not resist myself from playing with my MIST-RIES....Well I am totally head over heels in love with these beauties.... the color being so rich and vibrant and their and their speciality to react with water...oooh my my...they are AWESOME... Well I can go on and on describing these mists...but I guess I should just showcase on my work and let you guys decide .....So this is what i made today

I started with randomly spraying with True Turquoise  in the centre, Then I misted a lil with Topaz Yellow, and Emethyst Purple (Just a lil hint of colors) and then on the corners I misted with Ruby Red. I dried it using my heat it tool...(Impatient me :P) But you can air dry it.The effect remains the same....

I Then sprinkled a few drops of water on the paper to add another texture, AND AS THESE INKS ARE TOTALLY REACTABLE WITH WATER...IT GAVE ME AN AWESOME BACKGROUND. Then I  Stamped the bird image with Sakura Gesso and then randomly stamped a small flower here and there with matching inks. I hope you liked my creation with my inks.
Thanks for dropping in...
And remember na, I am always waiting for your sweet comments :)

MANSI SHARMA

 Hi !!!
I am MANSI .I am the owner  and founder of  of Die Cuts And More , mother of my 10 yrs. old lovely daughter,and wife of  the most wonderful , loving and supporting man .
I had always been a keen crafter before marriage,but lately got so involved in the household chores and raising my daughter that just forgot about my passion for crafting.Then to my good luck, I saw Quilling strips in the market and then started my new Journey of crafting. But in those days, it was a struggle to find any  craft stuff in INDIA, and the few which were available were sold at EXORBITANTLY high prices. This is where we decided to start our own Craft Store, where everything will be available at the most competitive prices.Today, not even two years have passed and we feel proud to have dropped the market prices of various products like Scoreboards, Punches, Trimmers, Dies etc. This  was all made possible with the continuous  love and support or our customers, and because of them only we have moved one step further by launching our WEBSITE. We hope we live upto your expectations. "You wish it, We get it... " is our motto. So whatever you wish for  Please let us know, even if it is not available at that moment, we can get it for you to the soonest as we update our  inventory every other week.

I am not over yet.....  We have been working hard day by day to fulfill your crafty needs. Die Cuts and More have a BIG SURPRISE for you all , and here is sneak peaky for our valued customers ...

STAY TUNED ... We will be  announcing our first Challenge and will be unveiling the surprise tomorrow , So don't forget to visit us again ...

HAPPY CRAFTING 

LOADS OF LOVE 

Die Cuts and More Family .
