I love this HUGE sentiment and I wanted it to dominate this card front so I went with the city in Wood Textures and Soft Suede card stock on a Crumb Cake card base. LOVE, LOVE , LOVE this simplicity. Added a Gold Glimmer paper star.
And the Wood Grain pops!! And these Palm Trees!
Then I wanted to try the salt technique.......I need to watch the video again, or get smaller salt. I did not get the reaction I was looking for, but it is still beautiful. I wet the Watercolor paper and added So Saffron, Peek a boo Peach and Smoky Slate inks with the Aqua Painter. Then I added Rock Salt......magic was supposed to happen? I added more water.....more ink.....nothing. I think my salt chunks were too big. Shannon West presented this technique at OnStage and trust me it was magic!
I dried the card with my heat gun and then embossed the sentiment with Copper Embossing powder. Cut the Star and scene from Champagne Foil. I had not had the bumps show thru on any other cutouts, so I did not add a piece of copy paper.....so of course I get bumps......foil can be tricky!
