Challenge Title: Create A Cure
Hostess: Scrapaholic007 (Shannon)
Keyword: HYCCT1527BONUS
Date: Tuesday, October 27, 2015
Oh, how I'd love to cure the world of this horrible disease.
Let's do the next best thing! Create and send our friends at MD Anderson Cancer Center a "Cured" Card.
Your challenge is to create a stunning background for your card using the salting technique with watercolors or ink. Through my sample making, I discovered that any type of salt creates a beautiful effect. Regular table salt leaves the paper textured with little hints of shimmer. The large rock salt granules created interesting patterns and the paper is left with a beautiful shimmer to it.
Here's a short video my 10 year old daughter and I made for you to see how easy it is to create these gorgeous backgrounds.
I hope you'll give this challenge a try and enjoy it! Fair Warning, I found it addictive! ;)
Thanks for playing! I can't wait to see what you all create for this challenge.

I am so excited for this day! I deeply believe the cards we create and send to MD Anderson make an enormous impact. Not only on the patients and their families, but on the staff and volunteers there as well. These cards carry encouragement, love, compassion, reassurance and validation to those that see them.
Over the years participating in these challenges have been so rewarding to my own soul, I find myself filled with anticipation throughout the year for the next one. When the opportunity arose to host my first HYCCT challenge I jumped at it with excitement and nerves all bundled up together. I'm so proud to be able to inspire the theme for this challenge but mostly I'm proud to be among a plethora of amazingly generous and talented artist. You all are so inspiring and kind! You are all the reason SCS is such an incredible place. Thank you so much for your participation in SCS and in this special card drive!
Much Love and Gratitude to my Amazing sample makers! XOXO

Shannon, I really loved using this technique and had fun with the colors I chose. Thank you so much for all your help on these incredible challenges. Here is my card:
I did a card for your challenge, but the gallery is still not showing(1:40PM EDT). Gives us a message that us mere mortals do not have access to this gallery.
I have limited mod powers so I can't tell if this works....
If you go to the main gallery, in the search box on the left hand side if you type in the keyword for this challenge... HYCCT1527bonus .... can you see the gallery that way?
I have been hoping to be able to use a stamp I have for one of these HYCCT challenges, and I finally got to use it on this card. It was challenging to stamp where the salt had been, but I got it. Thanks, Shannon! Heavenly Fire by casep - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Lois, I was so excited mine was the "bonus" LOL!
I commented on your happy card and have to add, your embossing folder matches the shapes your salt created, its so cool! Great match up!

I can honestly say I don't like "messy" techniques and this is one that seems to show up whenever there are challenges! I tried my best but I've never gotten the "dots" that others do with this technique. Here is my card
I modified the technique a bit to suit my supplies- used water, large paintbrush, sea salt, and ink pads along with a heat gun for my background- dedicated to my DH who had cancer and loves to sail- here's HYCCT1527BONUS Skilled Sailor

have you looked in the gallery? ((((Sigh)))) Amazing, beautiful backgrounds! I'm over the moon with happiness! These cards are going to bring so much joy to their recipients. I can just imagine, fingers running over the backgrounds and the wonderment they'll have feeling the textures and seeing the colors... "how'd they do that?!"
