Watercolor Resist



Papertrey Ink 
Make It Monday #240: Watercolor Resist
Lexi has a great video with all the details.


Thanks for the tip Nancy


Hello! I had the glue Lexi used on her video but not the time so I used masking fluid. It dried fast with the heat gun. I made polka dots by dipping, the pencil eraser in the masking jar. Last minute I decided to cut the tiny butterflies. Once I cut them too late to change my mind. I have three layers of paint with the last one 
a silver shimmer.


As usual I am heading out the door after I make it look like I did something around here today:)
I did the elliptical, some wash and three bathrooms so not too bad. 
Off to one of our grandsons game. 

Hope you have a wonderful week!

    Beautiful!! What a clever idea to use masking fluid. I was just about to run out to buy some rubber cement LOL

    I have never used masking fluid. I will have to google it : )

    Your card is simply darling - so sweet!! the polka dots really make it!

    Beautiful, Marybeth! I'm trying to figure out how I can do this challenge without rubber cement. I love your dimensional butterflies and fun polka dots.
