I love frost, and I love the patterns it makes on windows. The salt technique lends itself to this very well.
I took a piece of watercolour paper and spritzed it with water, then did a very wet wash with some liquid silver watercolour paint. I sprinkled on quite a bit of kosher salt and let it dry overnight. When I brushed the salt off the next morning, I had a lovely frosty look.
I die cut the window three times to get dimension, glued them together, then taped a piece of scrap acetate to the back, and then taped the salty piece to the back of that.
The sentiment is stamped and heat embossed in silver, and then its panel is die cut with a stitched rectangle and popped up on the cardbase on fun foam. I realized when it was all put together that the stitched rectangle is a different shade of white cardstock but could not bear the thought of pulling it all apart and changing it, so decided I like the contrast it gives.

Oh, I've never thought of the salted technique for a frosty window, but you are right, it's quite perfect. And it looks fab with the silver paint. What a really elegant all-white card, Susan.
