Merry Christmas!!!

This will be the last Christmas card for 2017.   I am so sad that this Night of Bethlehem Bundle is retiring as it is timeless!!  If there is a Religious stamp set you want in your crafting cupboard, this is it!!!




I have been experimenting with the SALT technique and having very mixed results.  I am thinking I need to let my paper sit and marinate and dry naturally....but I want instant results!!  I have used Coarse salt, used my Salt grinder and finally on this sample I used Table Salt.  I still am not getting the halos?  Try, try again right?

I used Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and fresh Fig re-inker.  Placed a drop of ink on a clear block.  Diluted with water with the Aqua painter and then saturated the Water color paper.  Then added salt......not much happened.  So I shook the salt off and dried with the heat tool.



But rewind back to the beginning, first I embossed the sentiment in Versa mark ink and Black embossing powder BEFORE I applied the color to the paper.

Finished the card with  Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla buildings and a Champagne Foil Star.
