hi there,
Here is my card for the F4A, Texturize and for Lydia's Falliday Fest Challenge.
I began by watercoloring with Distress inks over a piece of Yupo paper. While still wet, I sprinkled on some Sea Salt and let it dry. It left a textured, raised surface when I brushed away the excess salt. I added some extra depth to my bkg by lifting some of the color using Rubbing Alcohol and a piece of drywall tape as a stencil. I inked up some paper with more DI and then cut out a snowflake and placed it over my salted bkg.
