MIM #283

 MAKE IT MONDAY

Watercolor wash backgrounds

This week, Laurie's up for the MIM challenge with her 
first video which you can check out HERE.  She's sharing some tips for creating a watercolor wash background and it looks like a fun technique I will use again and again.

Cardstock:  PTI Stamper's Select White, 140# Watercolor paper, Navy panel by Recollections
