Description:

This rather an easy one but it makes for a pretty background.

On ATC 3 1/2 x2 1/2, watercolor the entire site any color or mix of colors and while still wet sprinkle sea salt on it. Let it dry and brush off salt. I never tried with regular salt but kosher salt works too.

Then either use a marker or stamped image on it of your choice sending it to your swappers and the back should have name of swap and yours.

Only one but to two swappers. I want us to try different ideas for backgrounds.

Best using heavier non buckling base.

Can we put something other than a stamp or a marker? Are we sending a finished atc or just a background for our swap partner to use?

I'm signing up because I've never used this salt technique but I always wanted to try it.

After the salt is brushed off you can either draw on it or stamp it but no flat sticker. A finished ATC embellished or your choice.

I did a watercolor background on watercolor paper and it buckled a lot but 2 hours under the Bible put it back in it's original form. LOL! Try something heavy.

Is the result subtle? I painted salted and brushed off but it seems very similar to how it looked without salt. Am I doing something wrong?

It can be subtle you just have to have the wetness justvright Not too dry when putting salt on.
