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
Beautiful rich shade of blue! So lovely with the snowflake and the cabochon!
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
Stunning card, Loll. Wonderful background for the lovely silver snowflake. xx
Another glorious color, Loll! You must have the most beautiful stash of backgrounds. I must try that salt technique! Your silver snowflake looks fabulous against that rich, royal blue!
I love this shiny snowflake against the pretty salt background, my friend! Love the silver embossed sentiment too!

So pretty Loll, love that sparkly snowflake! The contrast with the wonderful background is so striking xx
Another gorgeous card! Love the salt background. You're getting well ahead with your Christmas cards at this rate!
I think the salt technique on blue makes the best wintry backgrounds! Your silver snowflake with the gem in the center looks so pretty!
I'm seeing lots of bold blues tonight in Blogland and I think this beauty is fabulous and vibrant, Lolly! I love the simplicity of the design and the huge WOW it elicits!! Hugs, Dolly
Stylish and so stunning, Loll! Love the look of this technique ... haven't had chance to play along this time, though will certainly give it a go later! Hugs, Anita :)
