Hi, there! I hope everyone is having a great week. I wanted to share a quick project with you today that I made for Papertrey's Make it Monday. Lexi has challenged us to create a watercolor project using rubber cement as a resist. I can honestly say, I never would have come up with this idea...Lexi was definitely thinking outside of the box!
Let's get started.
I started off by painting my watercolor paper yellow. After drying, I applied a few swirls of the rubber cement. Once the rubber cement dried, I water colored everything in green, waited for the paint to dry, and then removed the rubber cement to show those little pops of yellow.
I went back in with my paintbrush and added a few spots of green here and there . The sentiment was embossed using Papertrey's Happy Hexagon stamp set.
Thanks for stopping by!
very pretty pattern - it looks like a zoomed in piece of a butterfly wing - perfect for a butterfly card! i really love the colors you chose and how you added that extra green at the end. thanks for playing make it monday!!
