So, as it happens this was a doubly salted background. when I opened the stream re-inker it went everywhere so after I tried to make waves with the saturated ink on the glossy card stock I tossed some kosher salt on and misted it and walked away as I was also blue... a few days later, I had removed the salt, sprayed the whole sheet with water again, dumped the salt back on and walked away. when it dried the second time around I had some resist rings So, I cut this into strips and was pushing them around on the green background thinking about adding some water critter and happened to see this sentiment about ToKillYa and salt that I had stamped and diecut when it arrived in the mail and set aside into an old jello mold on the table and just laughed. ( that's how we pronounce that particular booze in my family ;) ) The white line at the top is the inside of the card, the Impress card bases are colored on the outside and white on the inside of them. Thanks for this challenge Brenda, & tfl.

This is fabulous Stacy. I have not tried this technique on glossy cardstock, but this makes me want to give it a go. Thank you for joining us for the WCW challenge.

Stacy, as soon as I saw your choice of sentiment I laughed. Bravo for being so clever on your salted background card. And I love the intensity of color with the beautiful marks.
