Happy New Year, my crafty friends!
Resolutions. Love 'em? Hate 'em?
I'm kind of indifferent, I guess.
However, I decided that to really ramp up my creative juices in 2017
that I need to make an effort to enter more challenges.
So this blog is a project for Creative Carte Blanche and their
January Art Challenge - Baby, It's Cold Outside.
I decided to make a card using a 'new to me' technique - salt!
I wanted to create a wintery Northern Lights feel.
I wanted to create a wintery Northern Lights feel.
I started with a 6"x 4" piece of 140lb watercolour paper, Turquoise Color Burst,
large watercolor brush, a salt shaker and clean water.
watercolor paper. I gave the water a few seconds to sit then I sprinkled the
Colorburst over the wet area.
I used the brush to push the color around the wet area.
After sprinkling on some salt I let the card dry.
After the card dried I brushed away the salt. I loved the effect!
on watercolor paper since I can stamp it multiple times and get a nice image.
While the ink was still wet I embossed the image with fine black embossing powder.
To add a snowy effect I stamped with the halftone stamp and clear emboss-it.
I sprinkled Soft Fallen Snow embossing powder from Emerald Creek & then heat set.
