Watercolor Resist



Papertrey Ink 
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!
