 | | I've done this technique before with table salt but this time I actually had Kosher salt and love the effect I got with that. What I didn't think through before I started was how I would use this . . . I wanted to get my piece started so it would dry while I has at the doctors. I just grabbed the 3 nearest reinkers, misted my glossy cardstock, applied the ink with an aqua pen, sprinkled on the Kosher salt misted one more time and headed out the door.
When I got back my piece was dry with interesting bubbles throughout the bg. That part was cool . . but the real conundrum was what to do with this unusual (especially the peony) background - trial & error lead me to this fantasy land . . .stamped the vines Then stenciled in the fairies & Mushrooms -if you look closely you can see some of the texture from the bg in the mushroom caps. Finished with some black Nuvo drops & crystal stickles. |
