I am hosting the WCW challenge this week and I hope you will like it. It is one which uses salt and I think I had an overload. I used table salt and Kosher salt. My paper was really wet and that is what is needed for this technique. I did leave off the leaf impression part but you may want to do it.
The tutorial is Ridiculously Easy Watercolor Autumn Leaves and is by Creative Lass.

The background looks great with all the texture. You can never have too much salt. I like how vibrant your leaves are painted. Thanks for a wonderful video.

What a beautiful tutorial you found, my friend! I love your warm leaves and your background took on a very cool life of its own. I have yet to have a salt background work, but I don’t mind trying again!😊

Brenda, I love your version of this tutorial. You found a good one for us and then you made it your own. The way you used the salt adds so much texture. The orange leaves add a nice punch to the more muted colors. A wonderful card!!

You added some great texture with the salt. I love your shapes and stenciled veins. Looks so pretty with the pop of orange. Tis was a really fun challenge
