I guess you must all know by now but the AMAZINGLY generous peeps over at My Sweet Petunia (let by the fabulous Iliana) are giving away… wait for it … a FREE MINI MISTI EVERY DAY IN MAY!!! I am chuffed to be joining in the fun and helping them get the word out about this astonishing tool. I have 2 MISTI’s and hoping to add the Mini to my collection very soon! I use it every time I craft and can barely remember how I managed without it (I like to call those the BM days – Before Misti, lol!!).
The MISTI makes so many things easier when you’re stamping – I love to use it to get the perfect, crisp image or to create multiple images super quick and easy. Another technique that is so easy when you have a MISTI is multi-coloured or selective stamping. I have a couple of cards below using one of my brand new designs from Avery Elle (released and available today!!) called Butterflies. I stamped the the images in one shade and then inked up the stamps in a darker shade and removed the ink from the middle so it only stamps the darker colour at the edges. I also was able to achieve the perfect placement of my sentiments (from another amazing brand new set called Big Greetings from Avery Elle) which I double stamped to get a gorgeous, flawless impression (Happy Sigh!!)
So do you want a chance to win one of these fantastic MISTI stamping tools?! (What a stupid question, huh?!). All you need to do is leave a comment BEFORE 1st June 2016 on this post by telling me YOUR FAVOURITE STAMPING TECHNIQUE (embossing, masking, water colouring, Copic colouring etc etc) and then I’ll pick a winner – easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Embossing and using markers are my jam right now!

Love the simplicity of the cards, love the butterflies and the font. Thank you for the opportunity of winning a MISTI
Lovely cards!
I like to heat emboss.
Thanks for a chance to win 🙂
It’s difficult to narrow it down to just one technique, but I really like the subtle texture and look of heat embossing, as well as the scenes you can build with masking.
Your butterflies are stunning!! Thank you for the opportunity to win a Misti!
I love the look of embossed resist.
I love to emboss. Seems to add that needed pop! Thanks for the chance to win a mini MISTI.
thanks for the chance to win
Love the cards. My favorite technique is Copic coloring. Thanks for the the opportunity to win.
I love your cards. I love the color you’ve used. My favorite stamping technique are heat embossing and ink blending.
Your cards are beautiful. I love butterflies! My favorite stamping technique is any kind of embossing. I love them all, dry, powder, paste, you name it!
It’s a toss-up between embossing and masking. Both can leave folks wondering how you did it! Thanks for the chance to win the Misti.
Just adore your cards and the color choices. Thank you for sharing your techniques and the opportunity to win this great tool!!
Oh My! I love the stamp images and what you have done with them! winning a MISTI would be grand..but I have LOVED the multiple hosts for this giveaway!
I love your butterfly cards – and I would love to try this technique with the MISTI! My favorite stamping techniques are two: I like to stamp with MFT hybrid ink, then watercolor or – stamp and emboss with white ink/white embossing powder, then watercolor. I’m still doing the Ellen Hutson Mondo Hydrangea over and over – so beautiful!! Thanks for sharing your work with us!
Hmmm…eve after 10+ years of stamping I don’t have a favorite technique. I like having many different ones to do and try. It keeps things more interesting that way.
That are gorgeous butterfly cards you made.
Thank you very muche for the chance to win a Mini Misti.
I would love to win one.
I love it all but especially diecuts and color pencils.
I love heat embossing. I’d really like to win the MINI MISTI! Thanks!!
I seem to be a bit partial to emboss resist technique, with blended distress or other die ink over the top. Beautiful butterflies. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow!! Such beautiful cards!! Love the butterfly!! The colors in both are awesome!
-Berina

Copics, for sure. Lovely cards!
Up until recently ( and after I discovered clear E P). I would have said embossing…
But now it is a tie with water color.
OMG I LOVE those butterflies!!! Your cards are stunning. I definitely need to get that butterfly stamp set. My favorite techniques are embossing and alcohol marker coloring, which I just recently got into and am loving it already. Thank you for the opportunity to win the mini misti, I have been dying to try one. And it would make things so much easier, especially since I like to stamp a second time over an image after I color it, just to intensify the lines, so the misti would be a life saver for that.
Lovely card. I like water colouring very much and embossing resist too. I admire Mini Misty all month, so thanks for a chance.
your cards are incredible …
my favourite stamping technique is water colouring.
thank you for the chance to win a misti.
This is just a beautiful card! Thank you for the chance to win!
Love the soft colors. Would love to win a MISTI. Looks like a great tool.
Awesome card, love the butterflies! Thank you for the chance to win.
Hello, your cards are beautiful, and yes, I would love to win a Mini Misti 🙂 Lately, my favorite technique is Copic coloring.
Wow!! These are Really Beautiful!!
Beautiful cards!
Wow the sentiment is awesome- so big! Love it! Thank you for the chance to win a MISTI! I want one sooo bad-lol!
I am soooo hoping to win that MISTI. I would love to make stamping easier and not mess up so much!! My favorite stamping technique is embossing. It is so pretty.
Love the butterflies! AND my favorite technique so far are embossing the images then either doing an ink blending or watercolor resist on top!
Hi. I love your butterflies. I don’t feel real skilled in many techniques but I love to sprinkle water on reactive ink. It makes me smile every time.
I love to dry emboss on my cards and heat emboss images before I watercolor them. Your butterfly cards are so pretty.
Very pretty cards. My favorite stamping technique is masking.
I am still trying my hand at copic coloring.
My favorite technique is embossing, I’m not very good at it yet since I’m still fairly new at card making but it is so much fun I can’t wait to get more embossing powders. Thank you for a chance to win this amazing tool I would love to win one and start playing!!
I love die cutting: such a wonderful way to add dimension to my cards! Thanks for hosting this give away!! 🙂
I love butterflies! both cards are very pretty. Thanks for the chance to win a Misti;)
Both your cards are so beautiful, I love butterflies. My favorite stamping technique right now is double or triple layer stamping. I love the effects of the different colors blending together to create a beautiful image. Would love to win a Mini Misti and make lots more cards using this technique. The Mini Misti would make the layering so much more easier. Thank you for the chance on winning one.
My favorite technique is water coloring. I try other things, but I always come back to it. You can get so many different looks depending on how much water you apply. There is always something new to learn or another type of watercolor to try. Jil
I love your card! I love all techniques (embossing the most) but I am trying to perfect my water coloring 🙂
Your butterflies are beautiful! How can I choose just one technique? I find that I always do a little of everything on each card I make. I guess if I have to choose just one thing-it would be copic coloring since coloring can really create dimension and depth to a card and colors can vary with each card.
my favorite technique is water coloring. you can color outside the lines, you can wash out the colors plus it always looks artistic and elegant!
Your butterflies are so pretty. Thank you for this chance to win a mini MISTI.
I love your cards. My favorite technique right now is water coloring.
What gorgeous cards–I love those large Avery Elle sayings! Gotta get me a set! I love Heat Embossing–it’s just magic!

I love embossing! That magic never gets old:-). Love your butterfly cards – so sweet!
I love sponging with distress ink!
My favorite technique is watercoloring. Love your butterfly cards.
Your cards are B-E-A-U-tiful! Thanks for sharing. I’d have to say my favorite stamp technique is embossing. I don’t think I’ll every tire of watching the powder melt. 🙂

Beautiful butterflies! I love watercolouring.
Thank you for sharing.
Your cards are beautiful! I love watercoloring at the moment. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love embossing too. You can create both negative and positive spaces. thanks for sharing.
Very Pretty Cards. I mostly do copic coloring. I really want to work on water coloring. It makes me nervous to try. Thanks for the opportunity to win the Mini MISTI.
Favorite technique is definitely embossing, especially following that up with watercoloring.
I love dry embossing and the texture it adds to a card, I also am crazy about dies and die cutting, especially word dies that add so much to one’s cards. Love what you did with the mini MISTI, wish I had one!!
My favorite card making technique is coloring with copic markers. Never did outgrown my desire for coloring. The new adult coloring craze is giving me lots of opportunities to do this. I have definitely become addicted–to at least buying the books as I now have close to 30 (maybe more, haven’t counted lately) in my collection.
I love your cards. My favourite technique is working with die cuts. Thanks for the chance to win a MISTI.
I love your cards. My favourite technique is embossing with white embossing powder and colouring with watercolors, Distress Inks or Color Burst pigments. Each card is different with this technique. Thanks for the chance to win a MISTI.
Beautiful cards! I like to use my Big Shot for embossing and using die cuts on my cards. Thank you for the opportunity to win a Misti!
Beautiful cards! I like to use my Big Shot to emboss and use Die Cuts on my cards. Thank you for the opportunity to win a MISTI!
So far my favorite technique is embossing but I really like what you did with the butterflies. So, I’m try that next.
Recently, my favorite has been Copic coloring but I like to try different techniques. Thanks for the chance to win a mini MISTI.
Such lovely butterflies! I have stamps and copics and embossing, but I don’t know if I have a favorite technique yet! I will have to go with simply sentiment stamping! Hoping to get better at it!
I love watercoloring. Here’s hoping.
Beautiful cards! Love butterflies!
Love the yellow butterfly card. I think my favorite technique at the moment is embossing. But I love to try new techniques.
Your cards are just amazing. Thank you for sharing and being part of the giveaway. Hands down my favorite technique is embossing.
What beautiful cards! Love the big sentiments and the butterflies!
I love mixed media cards, the MISTI would make this so much easier.
I love the butterflies, the colors are so light and delicate beautiful.
Beautiful butterflies! Love the brilliant yellow one. I am new to stamping, paper crafting, so far I really like using colored pencils.
Such a nice card. Loved the colors…
Dear Caryn, My favorite technique is embossing. Though I also love masking. Yes you are correct when you said who wouldn’t want a MISTI! I know I would. When I get caught up in creating time stops for me , however, when you are mass producing some cards this tool really is a time saver. Your butterfly cards are beautiful. I love and have many stamps with butterflies. Thank you:) Darlene
So pretty!
My favourite stamping technique is layering – I love the professional look it gives even though I am not that talented! I love your cards, thanks for the inspiration
Masking and collage stamping is my favorite stamping technique!
Great cards, love, love…. Embossing is so much fun BUT, I am hooked on my copics. I am addicted to them. Thanks, love your blog.
Love your work. Thanks for sharing. Embossing is my all time favorite technique.
Great technique! As far as favorite techniques, I tend to get caught up in one for a while, then another…lol! Currently, I’m trying to get better with my heat embossing so that my details are crisp and clear.
Your cards are inspiring! One of my favorite techniques is to heat emboss and then watercolor the images with markers.
Your cards are beautiful. My fave is die cutting then popping them up with foam.
Beautiful cards! Embossing is my favorite stamping technique.
Caryn, your cards are stunning and I love the soft yellow and gray colors you chose! I fairly new to card making but I would have to say that heat embossing amazes me the most. I also find it so helpful to use this technique when watercoloring because it helps keep the color inside the image, which is very helpful for a beginner.
Thank you so much for the chance to win a MISTI AND for sharing your beautiful cards with us!
I don’t have a favorite stamping technique because I’m still a novice even though I’ve known about stamping cards for a very long time. I guess it’s because I can’t sit often enough to make cards. Thanks for the opportunity to win the mini MISTI!
Hi Caryn
I am really enjoying heat embossing in clear with watercolour over,
Just found your blog really like your style, thanks for chance to win!

Water coloring has become my most recent and long lasting stamping obsession. That art form is calming and “forgivable”. I can identify and chuckled at your BM moniker identifying the time before you used the MISTI.

HI Caryn, I love stamping and have been using stamps for years with embossing. I love the raised edge it gives your stamping for beautiful sentiments or to do fun resist techniques. However my new love is masking so I can create these wonderful scenes. The misti would be super helpful for that. Thank you for the chance to win!
Love the butterflies! Thanks for sharing

Love your butterfly cards….the thing that caught my attention and gave me a passion for stamping is heat embossing. It is still a thrill to watch the color change as your apply the heat tool to your embossing powder – and then you have the raised impression – absolutely mesmerizing to see!
Paper Hugs,
Jan

I love watercoloring ~ although I have not perfected on my own cards. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest. It’s very exciting!
Such pretty cards. I’m still trying to find my own creative comfort zone and signature style, but I have been collecting more ink pads and am trying to become more comfortable using them. I do love heat embossing though. Seeing the powder turn into something glossy and pretty always amazes me.
Of course I want to win a MISTI 🙂 I don’t know that I have a favorite, but I always love to learn new technique.
I love embossing because it makes water coloring much easier. My two favs right now!
I’m new to cardmaking and have very few techniques that I use. I stamp mostly and have done some watercolor pencil work. I’m so eager to learn some new techniques! I love the butterflies that you did on your cards. The cards are beautiful! Thanks for the opportunity to win the Mini Misti.
I really like butterflies so your cards are especially stunning to me. My favorite technique would have to be layering, either by coloring to create dimension or by using multiple papers stacked on each other to create depth that way. Happy Creating to you!
My favourite stamping technique is water coloring. Very beautiful card. Thanks for the chance to win.
what a beautiful card !
Beautiful cards! My go to technique is Copic coloring. Lately I’ve tried embossing and watercoloring and love the results.
Love your NEW desings Caryn!!!!!!! HUGS to you! So glad we met at CHA, you are sparkle-tastic!
Great technique! As for me, I absolutely adore heat embossing
Embossing is my favorite link that with die cuts and you can make amazing cards
Your Butterfly card is beautiful. I love stamping and then colouring with Copics, as this allows you to theme the image with your background papers. Have heard good things about the Misti ~ would love to win one xx
My favorite technique is coloring with copic markers.
My favorite stamping/technique right now is foiling. I can’t get enough foil! I really love the look of using multiple colors of foil on the same card front….easy to do but looks like you put a lot of love into it:)
I love the magic of embossing.
Thank you for the wonderful post, I am following the Misti Manya…. for May,,,, I love the card, they are very beautiful. My favorite tech. is stamping, I love the layered stamps, I think the Mini Misti would be great to have, I am very picky about placement as well.
my favorite technique is distress pads and pens
Beautiful cards! Love the dimension! And love these sentiments! I’m addicted to stamping, and even more addicted to heat embossing 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing these cards!
My favorite technique is heat embossing. I really enjoy any visual texture! I would love to win the mini MISTI! Thank you for the possibility.
Ah such beautiful, peaceful cards!! Having a misti is so nice so I bet the mini would be so fun to have for cards! My new found technique I’d using sparkle texture paste on a stencil!! So fun and so easy, you can make a bunch of cards in a short time and then your patience really has to kick in because the cards look so much better if you allow them to dry naturally. But it is so fun anyway!!
Thank you
Love your butterfly cards! So pretty and happy!! This Misti tool looks incredible to me. My favorite technique is heat embossing my sentiments and sometimes the images to color.
Copic coloring is my fav with a dash of watercoloring and a sprinkle of ink blending!
Beautiful! Love your cards! Thanks for sharing!
My favourite technique is embossing and then water colouring the image. It’s fun how the embossing creates a bit of a walk to hold the colouring.
From the very first time I saw embossing it felt like magic! I love water coloring embossed stamped images!
Fabulous cards, love that bit of color on the background. My favorite is coloring…copic or watercolors.
Such pretty cards. I find colouring relaxing so it’s Copics for me!
Those sentiments are gorgeous – before I came to leave a comment, I put that set on my wish list that I keep on Pinterest. Favorite technique would have to be color blending, which I’ve only recently gotten the hang of. Once Ranger came out with the round foam thingies (instead of the rectangular ones), I was off and running and wanted to blend all day! Thanks for the chance at the win.
Those big sentiments look so easy with the Misti.
Watercoloring is my favorite!!!
I love watercoloring over an embossed image. The embossing makes it easy to get a nice result.
Love the mini MISTI!
Oh that’s hard! It’s like trying to pick your favorite of your kids! Actually ANY technique that is fun and messy if right up my alley. Love making my own backgrounds and then heat embossing images and sentiments. I’d love to have a misti…..keeping my fingers crossed!!!
My favorite technique is embossing and then water coloring so the paint stays in the embossed lines!
JA
Absolutely beautiful! I’m a sucker for butterflies, particularly at this time of year when I’m making grad cards and thinking of kids starting a new jouney/phase in their lives, soaring to new height…I could go on…My favorite technique is water coloring with distress inks. THANKS for the demonstration, inspiration, and chance to win a MISTI!

JA
don’t really have a favorite method. just do whatever strikes me at the time.
I love to use embossing folders for backgrounds with die cuts and stamping on top. I recently purchased Colorburst watercolor pigments after seeing a video and am just learning this for backgrounds. Thanks for a chance to win a mini Misti which would be perfect for my card making.
Love your cards and the crisp images you got with the sentiments.
Die cuts are my favorite stamping tools; heat embossing is right behind it. Nearly all my cards have one or the other or both. Love your cards!
My favorite technique is using watercolor pencils,as I am most comfortable using, but I also like using copic markers. Coloring is so relaxing.
I love watercoloring and would love to win a misti
I love to watercolor. I find it very relaxing.
I love to color (especially with Copics & watercolors). Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards & for the chance to win a mini MISTI!
I don’t think have a favorite technique. I’m a technique junkie and love them all!
I love coloring- these day watercolors, Copics & Zig watercolor brush markers are my favorite color mediums. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards & for the chance to win a mini MISTI!
Beautiful cards. My favorite technique is the no line stamping for. Thanks for the chance to win a Misti.
Love those stamped sayings on your cards. My favorite technique is stamping and coloring and blending with water color pencils. I’ve had them for years, and they are coming back around, so I’ve rediscovered them. I would love a misti.
Oh my what a question to me. I have only experienced one type of stamping technique is just learning to put different colors right on the stamp. Yes I am fairly new. Thank you for offering MISTI as a prize.
My favorite is to emboss and watercolor with Inktense pencils. Misti will change the stamping world I think.
Wow…love love love these butterfly cards! Thank you also for a chance to win a Misti!!!
Stefanie
I like coloring stamped images with watercolors. Thanks for the opportunity to win a misti.
Love those butterflies… especially the yellow ones. I love trying new techniques. My most recent was the kissing technique using watercolors, followed by heat embossing the outline. Thank you for the opportunity to win the mini-MISTI.
I love watercolouring my stamps! Have yet to try masking but it looks wonderful 😀
Hi, I enjoy ink blending
What pretty cards. My favorite technique is Copic coloring…although I am trying to spread my wings to other mediums.
My fav stamping technique is shadow stamping-stamping in white pigment ink then stamping over that with an offset dye ink…my fav paper for this is kraft-so pretty! Gorgeous cards and thanks for the chance to win!!!!
i like to do watercoloring – just a beginner but its so beautiful. great card projects, luv your colors.
I like to heat emboss outlined images on vellum.
But lately I enjoyed the masking technique a lot
My favorite technique is embossing a design/image and then watercoloring. Your cards are lovely.
Beautiful card! I love butterflies… my favorite technique is copic coloring. So much blending 😀 Thanks for a chance to win, wish me luck 🙂
My favorite technique is heat embossing. Your cards are awesome. Love the butterflies
I’m jumping into the watercoloring pool. I admire others’ work and am learning to accept what happens…
My favorite stamping technique is masking. The scenes you can create with it are wonderful.
I am a sucker for butterflies! + yours are beautiful!!!!
Watercoloring with Zig brush markers is what got me started in cardmaking!
I am fairly new to stamping, so I am probably doing something that is an old technique but new to me. I love doing second generation stamping.
Beautiful card!
I have been addicted to watercoloring lately. However, I do enjoy embossing, and would enjoy it even more if it didn’t get messy at all.
I’m trying watercoloring. I hope to make such pretty cards as yours!
Here I go again! Maybe this time my comment will register. I like to layer stamp and heat emboss. I haven’t had much luck with the layering but a Misti would help immensely. Thank you for a chance3 to win a Misti!!!
I like to emboss and paper pierce….everyone WANs this amazing tool!!
I’m a little bit obsessed with watercolor stamping right now! Would love to win a Mini MISTI, thanks for the opportunity!
My favorite technique? So hard to choose, but I’ll go with masking—it’s like magic when the mask(s) are removed!! I love both of your cards, they are so pretty! The yellow…..ahhh, love it!
I would LOVE to win the mini misti. What an awesome tool.
Butterflies are so elegant. Love your cards.
thanks for the inspiration!
My fingers are crossed, thanks for the chance. Phyllis
Love your butterflies. My favourite technique is smooching and heat embossing.
I love heat embossing. It’s just so fun to watch.
I love your butterflies and your cards are lovely.
My favorite techniques are embossing and stamping and I enjoy combining the two. I love making cards and a mini MISTI would be a fantastic hrlp. Thank you for this opportunity.
Ohhh! Love this!
My favorite stamping technique is using the multi-layer stamps with different shades of the same color.
Watercolouring (or distress inking) is definitely my favourite stamping method of late but I also like to use generation stamping too (an oldie but a goodie).
I love your butterfly cards. Cards are always better with butterflies. Thanks for the opportunity to win a misti, it would be fab to win one. Thank you
Love the butterflies! Beautiful job!
I love your butterfly cards, cards are always better with butterflies! Thanks for the opportunity to win a misti, it would be fab to have one.
I love your card(I have a thing for butterflies) I recently received my Copic certifications so I’ve been using my Copic markers more so I guess that is my new favorite technique. Prior to that embossing and water coloring were my favorites.
I can only hope to be able to produce cards this lovely someday. Thanks for the chance to win MISTI.
Beautiful cards. I do love water coloring, although I am not very good at it! 🙂 I just keep trying. Thanks for the chance to win.
Hey,
I think my favorite technique must be stamping on backgrounds made with distress inks. If you can call that a technique?
By the way, I just LOVE the color combo white, grey and yellow. Not colors I would have choosen, but when I see it on your card, it just looks so stylish…. I really like it a lot 🙂
So now I have my inspiration for my next card, or at least the color combo 😉
Gorgeous cards and I really love the yellow butterflies. Thank you for giving us a chance to win this amazing tool. My favorite techniques are water coloring(but I don’t have much experience yet) and masking. Love that moment of surprise when you take of your masking paper or fluid and reveal the result. Kindly/Vanessa

My favorite stamping technique is heat embossing a line stamp image in white then filling the images with water coloring.
Thanks for the chance to win this MINI MISTI!
Many Blessings,
Melitta
I love using my big Misti to ink a stamp up in an bright colour and being able to mute the colour slightly with a white pigment ink. There is nooo wayyyy I could do this without a Misti! Would be fantastic to win a mini too!
Love the gorgeous cards! Butterflies are the epitome of spring to me. My favorite technique would be emboss resist.It is so easy & turns out fabulous results with little effort. Thanks for the chance to win a Misti. Have not tried one yet am thinkin I need one!
Love the cards! I love using watercolour for my cards – especially painting backgrounds with splatters of masking fluid 🙂 Thanks for this chance to win xx
I love the butterflies! They are my most favorite ever!
I love these cards❣ my chances of winning are slim but that’s ok…I love masking but I really enjoy water coloring…not great at it but hopefully with time and practice will improve…really love these stamps!!!🙂thank you for video was VERY helpful and makes me want it even more😆
I love using watercolour. It never turns out the same! I love your gorgeous butterfly cards!
I enjoy wet on wet water colouring. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards!
I think embossing is my fave technique at the moment. So many different looks you can get with this product.
Love your cards and thanks for a chance to win.
My favorite is using Distressed Inks on the stamp and spraying the stamp with water. Old technique but I love the results. Doesn’t have to be perfect. Winning the Mini Misti would really help me double stamp sentiments for a sharper black. Thank you for the chance!
I love your double stamped image. Can’t wait to see if I might be a winner of one of the mini misty’s. Thank you
Ann
Gorgeous cards. I love embossing and coloring 🙂 Would love to own the mini misti 🙂
I love embossing and then watercoloring over it… watching the powder melt and then “re-appear” when watercoloring is just mesmerizing!
My favourite technique is still watercolouring! I hope to get better at it, too. Love your butterflies!!
I’ve only been card making for about 9 months, I absolutely love it and I’ve been trying a lot of things so it’s still all new to me and I enjoy everything I’ve tried. I guess I have to say it depends on my mood what I love. Copic markers if I have to choose but I true love everything!
My favorite technique is to stamp on patterned paper which adds to the interest and depth. Like how the butterfly die cuts extend beyond the mat.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a mini-misti and have a nice weekend!
Just love your butterfly cards – two great stamp sets! Right now I’m loving the color layering technique for stamping. So many fun combos to experience! Thanks for the chance to win a mini-MISTI!!
Beautiful card, love the colors! My favorite stamping technique these days is the color layering stamps, so much fun to play with color!
Stunning cards!!
My favorite at the moment is inking with distress inks. Love your butterfly cards…so pretty!! Would love to win that mini-misti!!
What stunning creations Caryn. Wow… thanks for sharing. My favourite is probably first copic colouring but love embossing and masking too! So many techniques, so little time! Thanks for the chance to win a misti.
I’m a big MISTI’s fan since I discovered the Sweet Petunia web site at the end of last year. As I’m still a novice in card creation, I use my MISTI mostly for heat embossing to help me to use my Touch markers (it’s very difficult to find Copic’s in Switzerland). The MISTI is so helpful to re-stamp the same image when the stamping is not perfect. I’m also learning to use multi layers stamps and my MISTI is again so much help. So of course, a mini MISTI would be the perfect complement to my original one.
Your cards are very elegant, and playing with the shade of the same color give a great result. I will have to try it.
My favorite technique is still heat embossing. It’s like magic 1000 times later! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love anything with butterflies. Winning a misti would be an absolute dream come true!
I love anything with butterflies!
Your cards are beautiful. Like many others, I love the look of embossing, and I really like it with watercolouring of some sort. Thanks for the chance to win a Misti!
Your cards are beautiful! My favorite stamping technique is heat embossing and I’m always using it as an excuse to grow my embossing powder collection 🙂 thanks for sharing and for the chance to win a Misti!
I love second generation stamping. I really love how your card came out.
I like using masking to create layers and depth
I still love embossing!
Gosh – I guess embossing and watercolouring are my favourites, although I’m new to watercolouring. Your cards are beautiful!
I like heat embossing! Beautiful cards! Thanks for a chance to win!

The pink card really stands out! Love it.
What an awesome giveaway and 2 FABulous cards, but then I wouldn’t expect anything else. Beautifully designed butterflies too, I’m a sucker for them and think these will be coming to live with me!! My favourite technique is layered stamping at the moment, though my all time fave is masking. Hugs Bev x
Love your cards with those large sentiments. They are just beautiful!! My favorite technique is still embossing
My favorite technique is embossing. I also think your cards are amazing. Thank you for the chance to win a Mini Misti.
I’m fairly new to stamping and my stamping isn’t always as clean and crisp as I would like. Guess I really need a MISTI. Ha, ha! The technique I would love to try is embossing and watercoloring but there are so many techniques out there that I would love to try, including the one you used on your beautiful butterfly cards. Thanks for the inspiration!
Nice colors in those cards!! My favourite technique is embossing, I love the effect!!!
Your cards are gorgeous! My favorite stamping technique is to color with my Copics, but I am also recently in love with white heat embossing and watercolors. So fun and beautiful.
Thank you for the chance to win a MISTI. I had no idea I needed one so much…
WOWOWOWOWOWOW!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE to Emboss and Watercolor!! THANKS SO MUCH for sharing and have a FABULOUS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!! =)
What super sweet cards! I guess my favorite technique is embossing since I do it the most. : )
Love your cards,love copic coloring
I’d love to say ‘colouring’ but mine looks like a 6-year-old has done it! I guess just plain old stamping is my favourite, can’t go wrong there (usually) and most certainly can’t if I win a Misti 😉
Beautiful butterflies! Thanks for sharing. I hope a Mini Misti is in my future!
Blessings!
Karan
Thanks for sharing! My favorite stamping technique would have to embossing, I like the little extra details it gives on the stamped image.
I love Copic coloring! You can change the theme or mood of so many images just by changing out you color them. It makes it so fun! I also love to color people to look like the recipients of the cards! Just an extra fun personalized touch!
My favorite is Copic coloring. Your card is lovely!
Beautiful cards! I really love. The look of watercolor on cards. Thanks for a chance to win the mini Misti tool.
I love it all! But if I had to pick a favorite it would be anything that makes a watercolor effect. Thanks for the 2 shade re-inking idea!
I would love to win a mini misti!!
Lovely cards! I like embossing:-)
Love your butterfly cards! That looks like a great stamp set. One of my favorite techniques is to use a die cut, put it on the sticky tape, use the microfine glitter, then color with copics.
I forgot to add my favorite stamping technique….Honestly I’m not sure I have one. I have been trying so many different techniques lately to build my skill set, that I am loving them all.
Such a great card design…making mass producing it so easy on the MISTI
Pretty cards. My favorite technique is embossing and watercoloring. I would love to win a Misti.
Oh embossing has to be the top technique I love to do…it’s so magical!
Lovely Cards ! Thanks for the chance to win the Misti !
I’m currently obsessed with embossing!
I would absolutely love to win a Misti tool because I am going to be designing and doing all of my wedding invitations and other stationary myself and it would be so helpful!
I love heat embossing, and right now I’m working on watercoloring techniques. Thank you for the chance to win the mini Misti!
First of all, beautiful cards. I don’t think you can go wrong with butterflies and beautiful script (the butterflies + big script are my Avery Elle new release faves).
My fave technique at the present time is emboss resist with distress inks on watercolor paper.
Just recently got back into card making so a lot of stuff is new to me and I’m learning a lot about different techniques and what I prefer doing.
Forgot to add that my favorite technique is making interactive cards
Right now ink blending is my go to technique. I love that you can get a soft ethereal look or a bright bold in your face look.
Trying new techniques (is that a technique?). I love lots of different techniques – probably heat embossing is my most frequently used.
Wow…your cards are Gorgeous! The butterflies are so striking!
My FAVE stamping technique is Ink-to-Stamp with markers. I love coloring the markers and huffing on them and then stamping. So much fun and a great opportunity to use multiple inks on one stamp!
Thanks for sharing with us!
I love the use of the silver embossing. Hadn’t thought of that but will be
using the idea. Makes for beautiful reefs and the seahorse really pops.
I seem to do mostly regular stamping but I do like to emboss and then
color my stamps. The misti will make that a lot easier and faster.
thanks for sharing.
Have a safe and fun holiday weekend.
sorry. I got from one post to another and didn’t know it.
I’ll be posting in the Avery Elle blog hop also.
the butterflies are beautiful. I’ve just started the step method of
stamping and it is fun. I’ll be doing a lot more of it in the future.
So many more stamps are coming out that lend themselves
to this technique.
I enjoy embossing then ink blending. Your cards are very pretty. Thanks for a chance to win a mini MISTI !!!!
Love your card, it’s so pretty. I love the look of watercoloring on cards, I’m just not very good at it yet.
Loving to water color and see what happens to it. Would love to be your Misti winner.
Your card is very pretty. My favorite is coloring with pencils because that’s what I’m best at. Thanks.
I really enjoy coloring with my copics! What a great giveaway!!
I love to emboss and then watercolor:) Thanks for the chance to win!!
Love the cards! Love the stamps and the colors and the crisp images. I really need to get a MISTI! My favourite stamping technique is embossing + watercoloring.
Lovely crad – lovely butterflies. My favourite stamping technique is watercoloring the embossed stamps. Thank you for the chance to win a Mini MISTI!
Hmmmm. Wonder what happened to my comment? Oh well here it is again. I like to heat emboss as it raises the card to the next level. I like your card as butterflies are my favourite stamps. It would be absolutely fantastic to win a Misti as my stamping isn’t the greatest but I keep trying.
I love love the butterfly cards you have made! My favourite stamping technique is embossing!
My mum just told me about the Misti, we haven’t used one yet, but we would like to dust off our stamps and get busy again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cards, I’ve bookmarked this page for future butterfly stamping 🙂
Love your bright and happy color cards. I love heat embossing, there is something magical about it!
I’ve just started using copic ciao markers, and I LOVE them! These markers are amazing! They blend so well. Thanks for the chance to win a mini misti! Aloha from Hawaii!
Lovely cards, I love bright pinks, but I’m especially drawn to the yellow card. I feel inspired to work with colors I don’t usually reach for. Would love to win a mini Misti, thanks for the opportunity.
My favourite technique is embossing. I like the way a plain stamp can be enhanced to the next level. Amazing! Thank you for the chance to win a MISTI.
Love your card! Such a great idea to get that two-toned effect. My favorite stamping technique right now is using stamps with die cuts – I just got my first die cut machine and am loving the fact that I don’t have to cut out all my stamped images with tiny scissors by hand! Thanks for the chance to win a Mini-Misti too!
Gorgeous cards!! My favorite stamping technique is embossing – I love the look of it. Plus, my coloring skills aren’t up to par. LOL. Thanks for the chance to win!
Lovely cards! I’m currently learning how to blend colors with copic ciao markers. I watch youtube videos and look on pinterest for tips. Thanks for the opportunity to win a Mini Misti. Aloha from Hawaii!
Your cards are beautiful! My favorite technique these days seems to be watercoloring. Thanks for a chance to win!
So love your cards. Its great the way the misty tool makes stamping so much easier
Right now, I’m just happy to get a good impression. One of my favorite ways to color is to scribble markers (I use the kiddie version) on a piece of acetate and pick it up with a damp paintbrush! It works great on cardstock if your brush is just damp, and you can color tiny images easily.
Thanks for a beautiful project. Love those butterflies!
Stunning card with gorgeous details. I’m really into watercoloring at the moment. :o) Thank you for the chance to win a Mini MISTI too. :o)
Your card is beautiful!! My favorite at this time is layered stamping and boy would a Misti help with this technique, I could really use a Misti!!
You have made such beautiful cards!!! I have wanted a Misti for so long, but cannot afford one right now!!! I am praying that I am a winner!!! I do know that they go to the ones that truly need them!! But I’m still crossing my fingers!!! Thank you for the chance to win!!!
I am a butterfly lover and think your cards are magnificent!! Absolutely lovely coloring! I adore how they are so light and airy looking and they just POP off the page due to your brilliant highlighting and coloring!!!
My favorite technique is watercoloring and foiling! Singly they are fun but together they make my creations beautiful!! Thanks for the chance to win a Mini MISTI and for sharing these lovely creations with me!
I enjoy stamping things that I can color with Copics.
It would have to be embossing I just loved that raised effect. Thank you for the chance to win ☺
My favorite technique is coloring with copics, but blending with distress inks never gets old!!! Thanks for the chance to win a mini misti, what a brilliant creation!
My favourite stamping technique changes from time to time. Right now I’m really into watercolored panels so a resist with either embossing or masking fluid is my current fave. My 2 go-to techniques will probably always be my distress inks and Copics.
So generous of My Sweet Petunia to host this Maynia! Love your cards. Butterflies are so perfect this time of year.
Hello! Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards! They’re adorable!
My favorite technique is heat embossing an outline image, and water coloring it to achieve a soft, “MISTI” effect! … pun intended! 🙂 I also love 2 step and 3 step stamping to achieve a complex hand-colored look that makes the images look so realistic!
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win a mini MISTI!!! It’s a must-have in my opinion!
I’m a sucker for butterflies and yours are beautiful! I think watercolor is one of my favorite techniques. Do I have to have just one favorite 🙂
Absolutely GORGEOUS cards!!! So bright and happy – love all the white space!!!
I love trying any and all techniques, but probably my favorite is working with Distress inks for backgrounds,
There’s so many techniques I love! I think embossing is my very favorite! I love the texture it adds.
Take Care!
Michele
Beautiful cards!!!
My favorite technique is copic coloring!
Beautiful cards. Thanks for a chance to win a Misti.
Oh my, so many favorite stamping techniques, it’s hard to pick. But I would have to say heat embossing. You can get some very elegant effects. Thanks so much for the chance to win a Mini, I love, love, love my MISTI!!!!!!
Beautiful cards! My favorite is embossing then watercoloring. Just bought some Spectrum Noir pens, so hope to play with those soon, too. Thanks for the chance to win a mini MISTI!
it may sound boring but my favorite stamping technique is Masking….or in my case MAJOR masking…like how many masks can I do on one card LOL
Thanks for a shot at winning a mini MISTI Caryn!
Wow, your card is beautiful, I love butterflies. Thanks for the opportunity to win a Misti Mini, such a great tool.
Very sweet cards!
My favorite stamping technique would have to be anything using distress inks. For example, I love stamping images or backgrounds then splattering water on image and then dab up water with papertowel. I also love a type of resist techniques. Thanks for opportunity to win a Misti!
I’m new to stamping, so I’m still figuring out different techniques. Gotta say though, I really like the emboss resist. So many ways of going off from the same start point!
I love to do embossing then follow up with watercoloring with distress ink! I would love to win a mini misti!
I love all mediums, for coloring I love Copics however want desparately to get better with Watercoloring. However; what got me interested in Stamping in the first place was watching someone Emboss….I was hooked!!! Thank you for the chance to win a Mini Misti.
I think my favorite technique right now is Copic coloring, but I really want to master watercoloring! I’d love a Mini Misti too!
I love to stamp with watercolor markers.
I love to emboss then watercolor with distress inks. I’m not the best with the coloring but it makes my cards look amazing!
Both cards are gorgeous! Oh how I would love a Mini Misti, a really great giveaway. My fave is water coloring. Thanks for sharing your lovely cards
love your cards currently i am loving layering up, watercolouring/using pencils for no line techniques and colouring with promarkers, first Impression,spectrum noir and chameleon alcohol pens. the chance to win a misti is awesome thanks to you and My Sweet Petunia

I love to watercolor stamps! I like to watercolor with distress inks, pencils and pens!
I love watercoloring and layered stamping the best. Thanks for your beautiful card samples!
Lovely cards!! My current favorite technique is water coloring but it’s always changing!!
Beautiful Cards! I do love to use heat embossing on my cards. It is a weird satisfaction watching it finally melt together once hot enough. I have only recently learned about masking and love the concept but have not yet tried.
Your butterflies are BEAUTIFUL Caryn – CONGRATULATIONS!!!
LOVE the dimension you get with the double stamping!!!
THANK YOU for sharing your INKY INSPIRATION 🙂
I confess that I’m ADDICTED to heat embossing and the Distress Ink Lifting technique at the moment … it is also very fogiving, as I can touch up any partial stamping with a Versamark Pen => THANK YOU for the chance to win such a COOL TOOL, I DREAM of becoming a better stamper!!!
Hey Tracy – you WON!!!!
Right now I am into watercoloring with Distress Ink. I love the way they blend, they make it look like I actually know what I’m doing.
it is hard to choose my favorite stamping technique. I really live every type of coloring. At the moment, I guess I would say my copics are my favorite. Love your cards.
Gorgeous cards! Heat embossing is my favourite technique. Thank you for the chance to win a mini Misti! 🙂

Love eye butterfly card. I love to do Copic coloring, then come back and over stamp the image and emboss.
Your cards are beautiful, love the butterfly stamps. I love to stamp images and color them. I tend to use my Copics the most, and recently I’ve started watercoloring. Thank you for the chance to win.
I think I am a CAS kind of girl – mostly because my skills in areas like wet embossing, coloring, masking, etc… are not very refined.
My favorite is embossing! Thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite hands down is Embossing! Thanks for the chance to win!
Super cute cards!
Wow, amazing cards!!!! Thank you for the inspiration and for the opportunity to win.
I love embossing! There’s something about running your fingers over the embossed images!
It’s great to hear about all the fun ways you can use the Misti! I’m excited about a chance to win. My favorite stamping technique is copic coloring.
Your butterflies are just so delicate and dimensional, Caryn … dreamy! Thanks for inspiring us and taking part in Iliana’s giveaway … my favourite stamping technique is heat embossing … I never tire of the magic! Anita 🙂
Thanks for sharing. I love the stamp sets, they are perfect together. My fav is coloring…any coloring, water, copic, pencils, etc. Just love to color!
My favorite stamping technique is heat embossing. It makes for elegant cards.
Beautiful cards, love them and you know what that’s just an unfair question, it’s a bit like asking which of your kids is the favourite…different ones different days lol but would really hate to be without my comics ; )
I love your cards so fresh and CAS.
I never tire of heat embossing and love to do a watercolour resist over it too. Thanks for the chance to win a MISTI.
Goodness, beautiful cards! Loving the double stamping with various inks 🙂 My current fave stamping technique is heat embossing some images and then watercolouring them. As someone who fails at painting, drawing and anything similar, I find it so fun and easy as it (almost) always stays in the lines hehe. It’s also given me another way to entertain the local kids who always want to come and do crafts.
Obviously I would Love to win it!!! 😂 I love heat embossing and then ink blending over it.
Love your cards! Thanks for the tips and giveaway. My favourite is stamping, colouring with copics, die cutting then layering.

I love water coloring and Copic coloring…. Your butterflies are beautiful, gorgeous cards…
My favourite stamping technique will be water colouring (but still need lots of…lots of practice ^_^). Love your cards and thank you for the chance to win the Mini MISTI.
I’m pretty simple in my techniques and like to either use a bold stamp with one color, or simple design that I color in with markers. A MISTI would help me get better images and inspire me to try something new!
OMG! What a beautiful card – the soft colors, the amazing butterflies! Thank you for sharing your great ideas and for the opportunity to win. My favorite stamping techniques are embossing and water coloring. (I couldn’t pick just one : )
My favorite stamping technique is to stamp, and color with Copics. Not many of my other coloring devices get as much use as my Copics do. Love your cards. Sooooo pretty. Thanks for a chance to win a MM.
Right now I’m in the middle of a shaker card jag 🙂
Great cards!
Very hard to pick a favourite technique. Watercolour and embossing would be two faves, though.
Thanks for the chance to win a mini MISTI!
My favourite crafting techniques are watercolor and punchart. Thank you for the giveaway
I have TWO favorite techniques and I use them both equally. Heat embossing and the die cut inlay.
I absolutely adore watercoloring. IT’s my favorite!! Your butterflies are just so lovely too.
My favorite technique is making cards by stamping and colouring with Copics.
Beautiful butterfly cards.
Beautiful card! I love to watercolor because I never know what the end results will be.
What a beautiful card. Those butterflies look like they are going to fly off the card! My favorite technique right now seems to be watercoloring but I am having fun playing with the mini Minc I just got. Have a feeling that will soon be m favorite technique. Thank you for a wonderful card and a chance to win a Misti.
Beautiful cards. I really like the font for the greetings. My favorite technique is watercolor smooshing. You never know how your background will turn out and it’s different every time. Thanks for sharing!
very beautiful cards
Your cards are beautiful! My favorite stamping technique is dry embossing. Thanks for sharing and a chance to win a mini MISTI.
Your cards are lovely! Your technique of removing color is one I haven’t tried. My favorite technique is water coloring right now! I also love to color directly to the stamp with markers no think the Mini Misti will definitely help with this technique. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
Your butterfly cards are simply beautiful. My favorite technique is watercoloring. Thanks for a chance to win a mini Misti.
I absolutely loved the butterflies on your cards! Makes everyone smile…Thank you!
Your card is beautiful! My favourite is emboss – resist and using distress inks. Thank you for a opportunity to win a Misti, as I don’t own one yet!! Woop woop 😊💕
Your card is beautiful! My favourite is emboss – resist and using distress inks. Thank you for a opportunity to win a Misti, as I don’t own one yet!! 😊💕
Beautiful cards! My favorite technique tends to be whatever the current Online Card Class is! The latest was Clear & Sheer and I found myself reaching for vellum much more than I usually do. Terrific classes!
My favorite technique is copic coloring. I just love copics. They have quickly surpassed most other mediums for coloring images. I just love the versatility they present. Your cards are so cute I enjoyed reading about how you made them!
Your cards are gorgeous and just love those butterfly stamps!! I love heat embossing, especially in metallic colours. Could watch the magic melting all day! And thanks so much for the chance to win!
Both of your cards are beautiful! It’s hard to pick one technique that is my favorite because I like to mix it up so I don’t get stuck in a rut. I guess I would say my favorite technique is Copic coloring but I’ve been learning to use watercolors, as well. Thank you for a chance to win a mini MISTI!
My favourite is emboss resist and using distress inks. Thank you for a opportunity to win a Misti, as I don’t own one yet!! Cheers, Dotty
Love your soft spring cards. My favorite technique for a while now has been masking because I want to be a great colorist, and I find that masking challenges me to find depth within the colors I lay down. I adore clean and simple cards, so I want the images to really take center stage. Thank you for sharing your techniques and the opportunity to win a Mini MISTI.
Beautiful cards! Gosh my techniques vary so much depending on projects. I would have to say adding dimension/texture by adding embossing & embellishments to my stamping.
Embossed resist.
Beautiful Cards & I Absolutely Love Butterflies Because My Nana Loved Butterflies. One Day She Found A Dead Yellow Butterfly and Put In Between Two Clear Contact Paper and She Happened To Give It To Me & I Framed it! My Favorite technique is embossing.
I love masking a lot. It allows me to create fun scenes on my cards. Thank you for the chance to win!!
What a cheerful set of cards, Caryn! Thank you for sharing and for a chance to win a Mini Misti! My favourite stamping technique is definitely rubber-stamping on a glossy paper using water-based markers as colouring medium. The results are stunning every time, no matter what!
Beautiful cards.
If I have the time I like to colour – sometimes water colour sometimes markers (either water or alcohol based). If I’m short on time it is a quick easy stamping that I go for.
Thanks for the chance to win a misti.
Your cards are beautiful. I loVe your butterflies. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite technique is dry embossing.

Beatufiul cards – love the big bold butterflies! I love to emboss.
My favorite method of cardmaking right now is watercoloring. I am practicing to give my images some dimension. That type of artistry does not come naturally to me but I want so much to be able to make a hand painted card that will be worthy of sharing with someone. Practice, practice, practice.
I love heat embossing as a resist for creating ink blended backgrounds and as an outline for easy watercoloring!! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
Embossing is my favorite. I really like the look of it.
Beautiful cards! I love to color with my Copics, but wish I had more colors. Thanks for the chance to win a mini Misti!
My favorite stamping technique is to stamp an image, emboss with embossing powder and then watercolor. The misti stamping tool is great and I would love to win the mini misti.
I love embossing and then doing a simple watercolor wash over the embossed image! It is quick and the results always look amazing.
Your butterflies are beautiful! My favorite technique now is watercoloring stamped images and backgrounds, but I really love embossed images as well.
Those cards are both awesome and have a completely different look even though the sentiment font and the butterflies are the same. The different color butterflies give them an entirely new look. Love this. My favorite technique is embossing.
Such happy cards Caryn. I just love the colors you used on your sweet butterflys.
I love embossing! It’s a quick technique that makes a big impact.
Love your butterflies! Embossing and copic coloring are two of my favorite stamping techniques. I’ve tried masking, but need LOTS of practice to be comfortable!.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a Misti! What a great tool for stampers!
I just posted, but only part of my email address went through. So this is my correction!,

Oh my goodness! I am not even sure where to begin to choose my favorite thing about stamping and making cards! I have been doing this for 27 years, and made cards before the stamping. I deary love the coloring, no matter what the media. And layering adds a lot of sophistication to the images. Thanks for an opportunity to win a MISTI. This give away has been a good way to find new artists.
thanks for sharing your simple design yet colourful and lovely card!
I like heat embossing as it adds texture to any card/project and making them come alive. its such a clever and amazing technique!
I recently received some Zig Real Brush Watercolor Markers and have been having a blast using them to watercolor my stamped images. I have watercolored over both Memento ink and embossed images. I’m going to be taking Sandy Allnock’s online copic coloring series, so I expect to start doing some copic coloring soon! And I so want to try the layered flower stamps from Altenew. I’m making cards and bookmarks for my daughter’s special needs school, so I can make LOTS and not worry about creating a huge box of cards that will never be used!
I hope butterflies never go out of style. I’m starting to get tempted into ‘no-line’ stamping/colouring. I’ve seen some lovely work. Thanks for the opportunity
Your card is lovely! I really enjoy using my copics and would love, love, love to win a Misti!
I love Copic coloring my stamped (and die cut) images!

I love heat embossing! I’m still learning how to blend with copics ! I’m hoping to one day be as good as my fellow crafters!
Very lovely cards! Thanks for the inspiration.
I find it hard to say a favorite technique. Depends on what I’m making. All therapeutic no matter what.
There’s a little bit of everything happening in my art room. Misti would be a great addition. Thanks.
I received a commercial made birthday card today with butterflies on it but not as beautiful as yours. I love embossing and I am only just starting to use water colour pencils. I would love to win a mini misti, thank you for the chance.
I love embossing.
I’m a Copic coloring fan!
Beautiful cards. My favorite stamping technique is to emboss and the use water colors. Thanks for sharing.
My fave technique is water-coloring on my cards. However, my new Spectrum Noir alcohol markers are also getting a lot of love 🙂
I’d vote for embossing as an old but good technique. Masking is another.
My favorite stamping technique is embossing!!! Embossing alone on a colored card base or with colored embossing powder on white card gives a clean, elegant feel to the card while other coloring techniques such as watercoloring, Copic coloring and using distress ink as backgrounds or to colour in images can help supplement them. So embossing forms the basis of almost all of my cards…. Love it!!!
I love all techniques but seem to for for copic coloring the most. Thanks for a chance to win a MISIT> Still keeping my fingers crossed.
Wow, what beautiful cards. My favorite method is embossing.
And, yes, I would love, love, love a MISTI
I think that adding some dimension using embossing folders is one of my favorite techniques to put into use. Thanks for showing me tips using the MISTI. When I get a MISTI, I will put your tips into practice. Thank you for being part of this hop and sharing.
My goodness-those butterflies are beautiful! Really enjoying water coloring right now. Thanks for the chance to win a MISTI.

My favorite is coloring with my copics!
My favorite technique is masking.

I love using my MISTI with layered stamps. Even my seven year old loves to use it. Ahem. My reason for wanting a mini MISTI for my mini-me! Haha. Thanks for sharing your tip on using two shades of ink on with the same stamp. And thanks for the chance to win a MISTI.

Your cards are pretty and the more I see those Avery Elle inks and stamps in action the more I want them so hopefully as soon as I can free up some money I’m gonna treat myself to a haul and hopefully by then I’ll have won myself a MISTI,YAY!
Lovely cards! My favorite technique is using stencils and blending with distress inks. Thank you so much for the chance to win a MISTI! I can see how it makes stamping so much easier, successful and even enjoyable!

My favorite technique is use heat embossing powder as a resist with detailed stamps. After I emboss the image, I water color over the image, let that dry then use hot iron and typing paper to remove the embossing powder. Looks like magic etched the image
Lately my favorite technique is water coloring. It would be so great to win a MISTI
Love these cards!! Such lovely colors & those butterflies though…… 🙂 Perfect technique for the Misti!! Looks like such a great tool for us stampers/card makers!! Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
Lately, my favorite technique is to stamp up a bunch of cool images and then color them with watercolor pencils…the Misti would be a great help. I then use the Dove Blender to blend the colors. I love your cards and the butterflies…some of my favorite images are butterflies. Thanks for the chance to win a Mini Misti. So generous.
Beautiful cards and love those butterflies! Thank you for sharing! My favorite technique is embossing but watercoloring with pencils comes in very close behind.
I used my friends MISTI last week and I know what you mean about how did we stamp before the MISTI.
I love to color with markers and pencils. I am just starting to watercolor, not so good just yet.
I’m fairly new to card making and stamping in particular, and I’m still learning and practicing straight stamping…nothing fancy. I waste a lot of paper on images that don’t stamp clearly…let’s just say that a MISTI is definitely on my wish list. I love the techniques you used to create a variety in the tones of the colors on your butterflies. Your cards are gorgeous!
My favourite is embossing and then water colouring on top. The Mini MISTI would be so useful when stamping on water colour paper, thanks for the chance to win.
Lovely cards. You just can’t go wrong with butterflies.
Gorgeous cards!
I really enjoy embossing and then using water colour on top. The Mini MISTI would make things so much easier when stamping on water colour paper, thanks for the chance to win.

My favorite has to be watercolor. Not that I’m good at it, but I find it super relaxing. Watching the color flow, so serene!
I would have to say that I just love embossing, what with all the different ways you can emboss and the range of what you can produce. I have been just wanting/needing a MISTI so thank you for this amazing opportunity to possible win one. I haven’t been able to afford one so I will be keeping my fingers and toes crossed 😊
I love those butterflies so beautiful, I would love to have a MISTI!!!
I love your butterfly cards. My favorite (still after all of these years) is heat embossing. I just love to watch the embossing power “transform.” Thank you for the chance to win a mini Misti.
I love your multi-coloured butterflies! I am totally addicted to stamping and enjoy many different techniques, but especially embossing, colouring with Copics and watercoloring. I have just ordered your beautiful coral reef stamps and dies and I plan to watercolour some soft ocean backgrounds for them.
Can not find my post so try again. Alcohol markers
These are sooo pretty! My favorite stamping technique is probably ink blending!
Coloring with alcohol markers.

I love pencil coloring. Embossing is great too but I don’t seem to be very good at it! Your cards are beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love pencil coloring. Embossing is great too but I don’t seem to be very good at it!
Lovely cards! The pink is my favorite 😉
Lovely cards. I do like to try lots of different techniques. Right now I seem to be into combing die cuts in with my stamping. I have been seeing lots of cool watercolor backgrounds, so I’m guessing that is where I will venture next.
My favorite stamping technique is using the same color multiple times to get a lovely gradient of the same color. I’m fairly new to card making, so my techniques are still rather basic. I would enjoy having and using a mini-MISTI. Thank you for the opportunity!!
Beautiful cards! I am loving my watercoloring right now.
Layering, layering, layering! It’s saved so many of my attempts. I’d love to try layering with a MISTI. And I love what you did with removing ink from the center of the stamp to darken the outer edges.
Beautiful cards! Love that MISTI!
I confess, although I love experimenting with alot of different techniques, stamping is my passion and “go to” and favorite.
I love the look of embossing and then water coloring. Thanks for the chance to win a Misti!
I love butterflies!! it’s a lovely card!! My favorite technique is embossing, and started to take interest in water colouring as well .
Love your card. I really like colouring up my stamped images with Copics but I often don’t know “what sentiment” I want right away and then after it’s all coloured… it’s scary to stamp that sentiment for fear of messing up. The Misti would be a perfect tool for this.
Beautiful cards, Caryn!!
It’s really hard to pick a favorite technique. I think right now it has to be watercoloring. I just love it!
My favorite is coloring in the stamped images & then embossing certain spots. That way I get to do two in one! Keeping fingers & toes crossed for the chance to win a mini MITSI.
My favorite technique is sponging. It gives a great dimensional look. Your cards are beautiful. I always love butterflies. Thanks for the chance to win a mini!
I’ve finally learned how to use copics and that has become my new favorite! Thanks for the chance
My favorite technique is sponging. It gives a great dimensional feeling. Your cards are beautiful. I always love butterflies. Thanks for the chance to win a mini!
Thank You for the Opportunity to win a Mini MISTI
I have several favourite techniques. I love embossing stamps but I’ve recently started colouring my stamps with Copic markers and its so addicting! I love that I’ve learned its better to emboss after colouring with my Copics so the Misti would really help me with this.
Thank you for the opportunityto w In a Mini MISTI
Beautiful cards! Those butterflies are lovely with the dual colors. My favorite technique is Copic coloring. Like everyone, I’d also love to win the Mini MISTI 🙂 It’s such a great tool!
What lovely cards. My favorite technique is embossing–it adds such a nice touch.
My favorite right now is watercolor.
Gorgeous cards! I had to post them to my birthday card ideas Pinterest board! My fav technique is masking…love the dimensionality & realistic-ness it brings to any card!
What gorgeous cards! I adore them! I love using bright colours and simply stamping with maybe masking and maybe a little embossing, but the simpler the better! I love using pigment inks!
I think my favorite and most challenging technique is masking. It’s always fun to play!
WOW! Such stunning cards!! A beautiful job!
my favorite is embossing. thanks for the chance to win a misti
I am learning to enjoy watercoloring. Love that you have butterflies on your cards.
I love the butterfly cards. My favorite technique is embossing, I also love the effect of water coloring. I belong to a stamp group and one of our members brought her MISTI and we used it to make a card. I knew immediately this is a must have!!!
My stamping technique is masking. I love to see the end result once the masks have been removed. Beautiful cards I love how they turned out.
My favorite stamping technique is heat emboss then watercolor–I haven’t done alot of it, but I love the look of it when I see it. Thanks for the chance to win a mini MISTI!!
that is cute stuff
Ooo I love your card. So clean looking. I just plain love to stamp and have been
for 20 years. I have the regular MISTI and would love to add the Mini to my tools. I never stamp
without using my MISTI
I love all techniques when it comes to stamping, but what sold me the most and first was the moment I saw the ink start to shine with heat embossing and it rose up off the paper, looking and feeling so fantastic. That had to be in the 80’s? I’ve been stamping ever since and still love to emboss! And now I’m loving what the MISTI does for stamping. I just wish I had the Mini
There are so many techniques to choose from! I guess I enjoy color blending with distress inks currently the most.
Wunderschöne Karten mit den Schmetterlingen. Im Moment liebe ich layering technic. Ich würde gerne das Mini-Misti gewinnen.
At the moment, my favorite technique is embossing.
From the title of your blog I can tell you are a girl after my own heart. (Gonna scroll thru your old posts as soon as I finish commenting.) As to your question, I am partial to Copics and to dry embossing.
Really like dye cutting. So many things you can do with both the cut outs and the cut out space.
I’ve been eyeing this tool for a while now and would love to win it! Love your cards, just stunning! My favorite technique would be heat embossing and water color backgrounds. But there are so many others I love too. Crafting is my passion. Thanks for sharing!
I love water coloring with any medium. Pens, paint, distress inks, etc. It’s very relaxing to me.
Such “crisp” cards! I really like them! At this time I emboss more than anything. I am starting to venture into coloring. The MISTI is such an awesome tool I would love, love, love to win! Thank you for sharing.
Hi. Your cards are so wonderful. I love butterflies. I like all kind of stamping especially colouring with pencils or water colouring and really live embossing. 😉
Pretty butterflies on your cards and I would love to win the Mini Misti. Thanks for the chance Caryn!
Great cards! I think my favorite technique would be embossing and then using water colors to paint the embossed image. It makes it so much easier to stay inside the lines (LOL) regardless of what product you actually use to color in the embossed image. And it looks so clean and elegant. Thanks for the chance to win too!
Lovely cards, love the layouts and large sentiments. I would love to win a MISTI, seems like a very useful tool.
My favorite is embossing!
Thank you for the chance to win a mini misti! 🙂
Love your card. Those butterflies are so beautiful. These days I seem to heat emboss a lot if elements, that way, I can color with watercolor, regular water based markers, or most anything. I would love to win the Misti. Thanks for the chance. Now to look closer at your new stamps.
Your cards are gorgeous! I love those large sentiments!
I almost forgot!!: my favorite stamping technique is water coloring…
Butterfly and sequins, love it! Thanks for participating in the Misit give away. Can’t wait to win one!
Very beautiful butterflies ! Difficult to say what is my favorite stamping technique, I like them all ! May be watercoloring.
Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win. At the moment I know what is a BM day, and I wish to know an AM day ! ;-))
Because I don’t have a cool misti yet, I like to use the old time method of acrylic blocks the color in with water color.
I don’t think I have one favourite technique when it goes to stamping and creating cards, I go through different phases. Recently, I black heat emboss all images and then watercolor them using my distress inks! 🙂 before that, it was all about copic colouring…
Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh, and beautiful cards! Love the new stamps and the lovely colours you used!
Love the butterflies. My favorite technique is embossing. It would be wonderful to have a Misti to help with stamping.
Caryn, I liked your butterflies with 2 shades of color. I will definitely try that technique when I get a misti! Last night I was making a card for a friend and I needed to stamp on a hexagon and more than once part of it did not print – I thought to myself, I need a misti (which I never had even heard about until earlier this month) and I could stamp over what I already had and it would be fine (I tried doing it anyway and needless to say I didn’t get the stamp in the correct spot and had to discard it). So now my favorite technique is embossing – it seems to add so much to my cards. Thanks for a chance to win a mini misti!
Difficult to pick a favorite but one that never fails for me is stamping with Versamark and coloring with chalks/pastel on top.
I love that stamp set! I can see how the MISTI would be helpful tool for me! My favourite technique is embossing and emboss resist with a blended background.
What great cards and a cool technique! I love to try all kinds of techniques but nine times out of ten, even if they’re not my favorite, I reach for my Copics bc they’re quick and I love the look. Although I rarely do it, my favorite technique would probably be the iron technique. I don’t do it too often bc it takes a lot of time that I don’t always have, but I LOVE the effect! Thanks for the chance to win and for sharing your fab cards!
I like colouring. No matter what is being used, marker, watercolor, crayon, I like the surprises of mixing or/and combining color. The world’s a rainbow of color. Lovin’ the tips & techniques I’ve learned through this MISTI hop.
Beautiful cards. I love to see how the same design/layout can be used to make two very different cards just by changing color, background, etc.
It’s hard to pick a favorite technique. Embossing is an amazing process and adds so much to a card. I like to create my own backgrounds/patterned papers; also enjoy water coloring, either for backgrounds or to color images. TFS your talent and inspiration!
Gorgeous cards! I love emboss resist in white and a blendwd distress ink background. I’d love to win a mini MISTI as it would help me get a good impression on watercolour paper which isn’t always easy. Thanks for the opportunity.
The cards you made are wonderful! I love that stamp set! I can see how the MISTI would be helpful! I Like to use all the stamping techniques! I love trying anything new that I discover. They are all fun to try out and to practice to get better at them.
Lovely card! My favorite techniques are embossing, stamp layering and coloring with colored pencils and blending with alcohol. I don’t use Copics (because they are so expensive), and blending colored pencils with mineral spirits or a colorless blender (safer) is almost just as good! It’s my new favorite thing!!
Actually, I hated stamping because I never got anything straight so I always had to cut it out with a craft knife. I’ve been appreciating dies because they cut shapes for me.
Lovely cards and great giveaway. I like using Copic markers.
Beautiful cards! I love to emboss then watercolour, would absolutely love a mini Misti! Thanks for the chance to win, good luck everyone! X
My favorite techniques are embossing and watercoloring at the moment! Thanks for a chance to win a mini misti!
Beautiful card! My favorite stamping technique is layered stamping, where I use different shades on several stamps of the same image to give the project a layered look. A MISTI would really help with my placement which in sometimes have an issue with. Thank you!
Embossing
Beautiful cards Caryn. Your stamping and colour choices are awesome. I love all the layering stamps available as they look so effective without too much hassle! Love masking too. Thanks for the chance to win x x

Thanks for the chance, I would love to win a MISTI

Your cards are sooo pretty! My favorite stamping technique right now is watercoloring the image. I’ve been using Distress Inks or Inktense Pencils. The MISTI looks so cool!
These cards are absolutely beautiful. thank you for sharing.
I’d have to say ‘yes’ to all of the techniques. On any given card you’d find two or three and over the course of a month I’d use all of them!

It would be wonderful to win a MISTI. My favorite techniques is stamp, emboss and then watercolor. The embossing works great as a dam for us OCD people that wants the watercolor to stay in the lines. Thanks for the chance
Caryn, your butterfly cards are beautiful. My favorite technique used to be heat embossing because it’s so magical, but now I’m really loving the smooshing results with larger sentiments. I do have the right to change my decision daily though, don’t I? Would be thrilled to win a Mini!
Lovely cards! My favorite technique is Copic colouring, which I still have much to learn! Thanks for the chance to win!

Beautiful cards, Caryn. Butterflies are always good and I love the sentiments. I’ve always loved embossing and especially love to teach it and watch the faces of my students when the embossing powder melts and becomes gorgeous! I’m very interested in learning more about watercoloring and trying my hand-or brush-at it. Lol… Thanks so much for sharing with us and for participating in this amazing blog hop and giveaway!.

My favorite technique at the moment is watercoloring. I just love all the different mediums there are to use and the way every card turns out slightly different even using the same supplies.
Your cards are just gorgeous!
Very pretty cards. The misti looks like it would making stamping so much easier.
I like to mask and stamp.

Love your butterflies Caryn and colors you chose. My favorite is coloring flowers with alcohol markers …I am using Spectrum Noir. I would dearly love to win a MINI MISTI to perfect my stamping! Thanks bunches for the chance to win!
Beautiful cards– I love the new Avery Elle stamps! I don’t have just one favorite technique; among my favorites are emboss resist, and coloring with Copics or watercolors.

Very pretty cards! Love the grey and yellow. My favourite technique is watercolouring 🙂 Thanks for the chance. Ger
Your cards are beautiful! I love the technique you used with the butterflies, the shading looks so amazing! I am learning so many amazing techniques in my effort to win a MISTI 🙂 I would have to say that heat embossing is my most favorite technique, I love the way the sentiment/image looks when it is embossed. It almost gives an elegant and classy feel to the project! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I love your butterflies with the darker edges! So pretty! I haven’t stamped or crafted in general for quite some time. I was just a basic colored ink stamper. Then we had a house fire, and my new craft room is almost complete! I can’t wait to get back to it & use all these amazing techniques that I have been seeing!
Live your cards. My favorite is embossing
I love your cards. The colors are beautiful! My favorite stamping technique is to stamp and then heat emboss so I can watercolor! The MISITI looks like a fantastic tool! Thanks for this opportunity and I look forward to your next post!
Beautiful cards, Caryn!! I absolutely adore butterflies and I need to add the AE set to my collection. I love trying all techniques and learning new ones. Right now, I have a love for water coloring and paper piecing.
Gorgeous cards – those butterflies look poised for flight!! Super impressive!!! My favorite technique is watercoloring – I use my Zig markers to do it!! SO much fun!!
Love it!
My favorite technique has to be Copic coloring followed by embossing with folders, but just bought the 36-color Kuretake watercolor set, so that might become my next favorite.
Gorgeous design! Absolutely love the multi color stamping! I am loving the revitalization of watercolors! They were my favorite medium years ago and to see them get new light once again makes me so happy!
Awesome cards! My favorite technique currently involves coloring of any type – Prismacolors, Spectrum Noir, or watercolors.
My favorite thing is Copic coloring. It’s very relaxing.
These are really cute cards. Love both of them. Thanks for sharing your creations! Would love to win a mini misti to help with my stamping!
Awesome giveaway! I love the look of embossing – so cool! Thanks for sharing!!!
I like to use alcohol markers, although I never think my results are good enough to send! I often end up paper piecing. I long for a misti but they aren’t available here in the UK.
Gorgeous card!! I am addicted to all techniques 😉 but I really love ‘paper piecing’!
Beautiful cards! May you have many more AM (after misty)!!!!
My favorite is embossing and then to use water colors or just stamp and use colored pencils! Thanks for the chance to win!
Your cards are beautiful Caryn. My favorite technique is heat embossing..never get tired of it.
Love your cards. Thanks for being a part of the give away.
My favorite is coloring with copics on embossed images.
The MISTI looks like it would be very helpful!
I stamp mostly for Copic coloring & sentiments
Would like to emboss more; maybe this is the year
Blending and embossing are my favorite techniques. Hoping to get better at coloring one day. Thank you for the chance to win the mini misti!!
I enjoy embossing, just start blending colors. Love your cards! Thank you for a chance to win the Misti.
Watercolor pencils on stamped images always look amazing!
Just love to mask and basic blending of colors with my markers. So fun.
Oh my! Love to use lots of different techniques, but I really like paper piecing for my projects.
Love both of these beautiful butterfly cards Caryn! I am always trying out new stamping techniques, my favourite at the moment would be watercolouring images. How generous of Iliana to be giving away all those Mistis this month. After seeing all of the wonderful projects and videos the past few weeks I am convinced I need one. Thank you to you and Iliana for a chance to win!
My favorite technique is the “smooching” technique. It comes out different every time and is so easy and quick to accomplish.
One of my favorite techniques is water coloring. Love the look.
Beautiful cards. My favorite methods to date have been using digital stamps, because I am such a lousy ink stamper. However, with the MISTI, I can see that changing.
My favorite stamping technique is embossing. It’s still a novelty for me, so… still very fun! I would love to do more things– like vellum and shaker cards, Copic and watercolor too. It’s all good!
Love your butterfly cards. Thanks for sharing. Thanks to My Sweet Petunia for the wonderful giveaway. I like to use clear heat embossing power over my stamped image. It intensifies the stamped colors. Or provides a great base for coloring with watercolors, pencils or pens.
Beautiful cards!
my favorite is embossing, both with folders..a simple quick way to add interest, and powders.
thank you for the opportunity to win such a fabulous prize! Mini-MISTI looks very cool!
Your butterflies are gorgeous! My favorite technique is watercoloring with emboss resist. Thanks for the chance to win a mini MISTI!
I really love to colour with my blender pens. Colouring is so very relaxing and I like to make a flower come alive. But when I don’t colour I love to use two or three step stamping to create depth. A mini MISTI would sure help with that!!!
You’re cards are so elegant. Love the softness of the colors.
I love to color with pencils of all kinds.. recently discovered inktense pencils, they do take a little practice – but the amazing vibrant water color looks are stunning.
thanks so much for the chance to win a mini misti. I am blown away by everything you can do with it. Let the creating begin 🙂
Your butterfly cards are so pretty! I love to emboss and need to do it more often. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Currently my favorite technique is to stamp in Versafine, and then color in the image with Zig brush pens. Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂
My favorite technique, at the moment, is watercoloring. However, I love to try new techniques, so that’s subject to change at any moment.
My favorite technique is the tried and true embossing, it just makes images so much nicer! I used it on almost every card and love to use it on scrapbook pages to keep ink from getting messy. thanks so much for the opportunity to win! I want a MISTI really bad, I am going to have to break down and buy one if I don’t win!
Love those pretty butterflies! At the moment I think my fave technique is water colouring, though I do love to emboss.
Love your cards!
I like to try out all the techniques. Keeps me interested & gives me an excuse to buy more product 😉
I love embossing with white and then watercoloring! Thanks so much!
I love coloring with pencils
I love them all! I’d get bored with just one!
I have recently started stamping so I don’t have a favourite. I do like the watercolor technique but I would like to try the emboss resist technique. Thanks for sharing the cards and for the chance to win the mini-MISTI!
I like embossing, with folders and powder.
Thanks for the chance to win a mini Misti.
I love to emboss. Your cards are so very beautiful.
I never know how to answer these “favorite” questions. I almost never can choose just one. I guess I will pick using stamps with coordinating dies today. Tomorrow it might be embossing or multi-step stamping or copic coloring or….. etc. I do love my original Misti and would like to add a mini Misti to my arsenal of tools.
My favorite is heat embossing the sentiments and color layering floral stamps. Your cards are so pretty and I love your personality!
I really like paper piecing and using embossing folders. it seems like I use those techniques most. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards and the chance to win.
Love your cards. They show what can be achieved using Misti. Embossing is my
