It's Anything Goes week at
Addicted to Stamps and More. This is one of our more popular challenges because you can....well - do anything. For my card I tried something new.
K
aren Dunbrook showed a card using sea salt and it looked so cool I had to try it. Mine didn't turn out like hers but I like it anyway. First I painted the watercolor paper with Distress Ink and then sprinkled on the salt which causes the paint to move away. I think I was a little heavy handed because it
really moved in a few places. I solved that problem by adding some snowflakes cut from shimmer vellum and added the perfect sentiment from PB.
The sponsor for this challenge is
DRS Designs. They will award the winner a $10 gift certificate.
Why not go check out what the rest of the design team has made, get some inspiration and make a card to enter. We'd love to see you in the gallery.
