If you haven't had a chance to watch Lexi's Make It Monday Water Color Resist, do so. I really enjoyed playing with this technique yesterday. I have two cards to show you. The first card is my first attempt at the water color technique.

Since I had fun with these colors, I thought I would see what the colors for Color Throwdown are for this week. Pink, green and kraft. Ooh, I wonder how they would look together....
IRL how this card turned out and am entering it into the MIM #240, Color Throwdown #381 and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes.

Here is what is left of my water color resist pieces. I should have taken a picture of them before I die cut them up. I did get one of the green and pink as I couldn't decide how to put my card together.
Thanks for stopping by. I would love to know what you think of this technique by leaving a comment below.
