Karen Dunbrook challenged us to do a salted background.
I did quite a wet watercolour wash with a couple of shades of blue watercolour paint and while still wet, sprinkled it with salt (I found kosher salt worked best for me - not too fine and not too coarse). I let it air dry overnight, then brushed off the salt.
I die cut three snowflakes and my sentiment out of silver glitter cs, and bordered the panel with the same. I popped it up on fun foam.
Then I spent more time trying to get a good photograph of it than I spent making the card! It was so hard to capture the sparkle and the dimension of the die cuts! This was the best I could get.

Blue salted background is stunning! Love the silver glittery papers you've added from the mat layer, to the snowflakes, to the lovely wintery die-cut sentiment! BEAUTIFUL!
