CAS Watercolour Challenge- Resist

Hello and welcome.

Taking a break from making Christmas cards today.

It's time for another fun challenge at CAS Watercolour Challenge.

This month our challenge is Watercolour Resist.

I began making my card by splattering some masking fluid all over the front of my white cardstock.  That will become the resist technique I will use on my card.

You will need to set it aside to dry as it takes a little while to be ready to use.

When dry, I placed my PB flower called The Unfolding inside my MISTI, coloured with Memento markers, sprayed with water and stamped.  

I always start with the lightest shades first and then add darker shades as I repeat the above process...so easy to do when using the Misti.  I let the piece dry a bit then inked up my stamp with Versamark ink and clear heat embossed the image.  That also helped to work as a resist when I watercoloured the background.  

* Be sure to remove any masking fluid from your stamped image before heat embossing but not from the background.

I watercoloured the background using Distress Stains and water, trying to concentrate more colour around the flower and floating a weaker shade of the colour as I moved away from the image.

You can see how the masking fluid resists the ink and leaves the white spots.

I rubbed off the masking fluid and stamped the sentiment from the PB Sentiment Collection.

I did add a bit of stenciling with drywall tape to finish it all off.
