Salted Snowflake

Hi everyone.  Today's card is another for the CAS Watercolour August Challenge - Salt.  I love how the salt reacts with watercolours.


This time I die-cut a sparkly snowflake to pop on top of my blue Brushos and salt background.  I added a glittery jewel to the center.  A silver embossed sentiment finishes the card.

This card was simple to make.  I made a full panel of background (4 1/2" x 6"), then cut it into four equal pieces of 2 1/8" x 3" to create four cards.  Two are for my Christmas card stash and two I will donate.  A quick and easy way to get lots of cards made. :)

There's still a few days left to play along with the CAS Watercolour Salt Challenge. It closes at midnight August 24th.  Hope you'll join us.

    This salt technique really lends itself to winter and water scenes. Absolutely love your card and the silver die cut snowflake is so perfect against that ever so pretty salted background x

    Simply gorgeous salted background for your glittery snowflake and pretty jewel. Love how you could get 4 cards with one Brushos and salt background. TFS Loll. Hugs

    I think the salt technique on blue makes the best wintry backgrounds! Your silver snowflake with the gem in the center looks so pretty!
