MAKE IT MONDAY #240: WATERCOLOR RESIST


Oh my goodness, I went a little crazy with this week's MIM at Papertrey Ink!  I had never done this technique before and found myself watching videos of all different watercolor resist techniques.  For my cards, I did use the technique Lexi showed us in her Make It Monday video.  I had so much fun experimenting and now I have extra panels to use on future cards.

Here are most of the panels I created.  I had a few more that didn't get photographed;)

These were made by drizzling the rubber cement from the large brush then watercoloring after the glue dried.  I wanted white for my resist areas so I didn't water color the paper first.

After playing with the rubber cement brush, I decided to use an old paint brush.  I "wrote" on my panels with the smaller paint brush to get finer lines so I could attempt more controlled images.

This is the card I made by die cutting the pretty sections from the first three panels.
Oh so fun, Y'all!
I want to get this posted before church this morning, so I will save the other cards I made from the panels for later;)

Craft mightily,
Jeni Jenne
