*WT338 Let It Snow
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: hobbydujour

 Michelle Single(tygerpaws11) is leading the WT Challenge today. Today's theme was "paint". She said use sparingly or "go nuts". I took the "go nuts" route!

I used the same procedure as I did on my yesterday's SC challenge card. I put the background in with watercolor(paint), lifting out an area where Mr. Snowman would go, sprinkled it with Kosher salt, let dry, brushed off the salt, then stamped my image the usual way. I colored the snowman with Copics. I then spattered the whole panel with watered down white acrylic paint(more paint) and an old toothbrush.

It's going to be another 101 degree day here and I want to think cool...if not cold.....thoughts! : )

Love how you created the wintery sky in the background, Sallie. This is beautiful. I must ask...what does the salt do?

This is amazing. I love that background, and this is one for my favs. Definitely going to give this technique a try. OH, and I hear you on "think cool" - it is supposed to be 104 here today. UGH.

Oh, Sallie, another very gorgeous card!! I love all of your painting and spattering with acrylic paint. I was complaining because we are supposed to have 92. Stay cool!

This is really great! I love the watercolor/salt look and splattering the white with your toothbrush was a great idea! TFS
