Add some flavor to your card with a bit of salt. This background was created using a bit of rock salt. What do you think?

First, I sprayed the glossy panel with water. 

I then added my colors using an aqua painter. You may choose to drop the colors or swirl them around. 

I then sprinkled my rock salt over the background and sprayed it with a bit more water.

I set it aside and let it dry. You may use a heat tool if you do not have time to wait.

Once it was dry, I brushed off the rock salt and finished it with a bit of stamping.

I added the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

You can find the tutorial that I followed at SplitCoastStampers: Salted Background.

Salty Lake

 Salt adds flavor to your food and a unique look to your cards. I used rock salt for my salted background technique. The salt creates a speckled look on your card. The size of the splotches will be determined by the salt that you use. Large, coarse salt will yield big blotches whereas small, fine salt will give you smaller blotches. What do you think?

I first applied the Salted Background Technique on my glossy white panel. You can see a you tube video for it at: Salted Background 

Once my background was dry and wiped clean, I used my Stamparatus to stamp my image and my sentiment. You can use any tool that will allow you to stamp several times to get a good impression on your panel.

I then adhered the glossy white panel to the card base. Of course the sentiment can be changed to suit your needs.
