PTI's MIM ~ Water Color Resist

I'm playing along with this week's Papertrey Ink, Make-It Monday series with Lexi Daily. Her technique was using rubber cement to resist water color and I didn't think I'd get to play along because I don't have any rubber cement, until I read Colleen's blog and discovered that she used a masking pen. That I do have, so yippee! And thanks Colleen for the great tip! I thank God for my friends, who are smarter than me. ;0)

I used Phrase Play #4 to start with and cut the balloons from my water color resist piece of cardstock using the small balloon from Heart 2 Heart #2 and the big balloon from Birthday Style.

You can find all the details on Nichole's blog HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings~ Birgit
