Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
This week the challenge is
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
I took this challenge with a pinch of salt ;-)
and created a background using the salt technique!
I inked a piece of Watercolor Paper quite generously with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and sprinkled with sea salt. I then spritzed with water and waited for the magic to happen! I just left it to dry naturally and then brushed the salt off and it had made a lovely bokeh effect design. I then smothered the whole piece with Micro Glaze to seal the ink before splattering with White Linen Dye Ink.
I used a Framelits Tag Die and Festive Scribbles Die to make a decorative focus, I added a pinch of glitter on the tree and star, well you have to have a bit of sparkle at Christmas don't you!
I used Evergreen Bough, Iced Spruce and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks to color the ribbon.
So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

What a great technique! I've wanted to try this for a while now, but your card has inspired me even more! It looks fantastic and that color palette is dreamy!
I love the inky effects the salt gives - and the cool blue colour palette here is lovely.
