PTI MIM Watercolor resist


Well I am back again because my Izzy got the flu which started at 1:00 am Monday and lasted until 11:00 am Monday.  It was quick, which I am attributed to the oils we used and diffused!  I am so grateful to have this healthy option for our family.  On a good note, it allowed me to be home with her for a few days and I was able to get into the stamping room.  I can't wait to play with this PTI MIM watercolor resist technique more.  

Here was my first attempt.  I ended up playing with full watercolor pages and then cut down what I needed.  I really like the effect I achieved and I do want to do one with the swirls that Lizzie made on her card.  The rubber cement was a lot of fun to play with.  It was also wonderful to bust out the watercolors and just play.  I really have enjoyed my time in the stamping room and can't wait to carve out more time!
 This background I made with the retro sketches challenge in mind.

I really like that this technique allowed me to have a flat card and not all of the bulk.  I think that is one major change that has happened with my stamping over time.  I don't do the big bulk and layers that I did at one time.  I might try this sketch again more as it was intended, just for a fun throw back.
It's a good life!
