I have been playing with watercolors a lot lately, so I thought I would post a card using watercolor paper, watercolors, and some salt.

For this technique, I spritzed some watercolor paper with water and then applied several shades of blue watercolors to the paper.  While the paint was still wet, I sprinkled the paper with some salt.  Here is a picture of what the paper looked like wet:

The salt will move the paint around and give your paper a speckled look.  Use chunkier salt to get larger spots.  Regular table salt gives a very subtle dotted look.  Once the paper dried, I brushed off the salt and added some die cut butterflies I coated in Tumbled Glass Distress Glitter.

Supplies used:

Have a great weekend!
