This was my first time using the Misti and I was excited to see what it could do.  You should have arrived to my blog from Stephanie's blog.  Did you see her gorgeous project? 

I started with the Doodle Flowers stamp set.  After cutting my paper to size, I placed it in the Misti and used the included magnets to hold the paper in place.  I placed the glass jar stamp where I wanted it, picked it up with the Misti and then stamped it in gray ink.

Next, I placed the flower bouquet on  the stamped jar, then used the Misti again to pick up my stamp. 

I inked the stamp with assorted colors of ink then perfectly stamped the bouquet in the jar.  The Misti allowed me to easily stamp the flowers exactly where I wanted them.

I used the same method to stamp the sentiment in two different colors and again, they lined up perfectly.   I assembled the card, then added the Robin's Nest Dew Drops to the flower centers.

Next, I used the Let's Celebrate stamp set to position the balloons and sentiments around the girl.  So I first stamped the girl with brown ink.

Next, I positioned the balloons and stamped them in 2 colors of ink.  Since I wanted the balloons a little darker, I re-inked and re-stamped them.  Using the Misti allowed me to perfectly re-stamp the balloons - no mistakes.

Finally, I placed the phrases on the balloons and added the curls to the bottom of the balloons.  I picked them up with the Misti, inked the phrases with black ink and the curls with red ink.  I replaced the top and stamped them perfectly in place.

I added color to the girl with Copic Markers, then created my card with 4 additoinal layers of cardstock.

The Misti truly makes it easy to align stamped images.
