Good Morning.
Today, I have the pleasure of hosting the TLC (Technique Lovers Challenge) over at Splitcoast Stampers.
Today, I am challenging you to
I just won some new stamps from Technique Junkies and wanted to play with them.
I began by taking my regular Distress ink pads and just rubbing them directly onto my heavy white cardstock being sure to overlap the colours a bit.
(you can achieve a more dramatic effect by using glossy cs which I didn't have)

<<Any water-based ink will work for this challenge and the results are more visible and vibrant the heavier you apply the ink to your paper.>>
Next, I sprinkled on some coarse sea salt and sprayed with some water. The salt absorbed the ink and left behind a wonderful effect that reminded me of rain. You can also try regular table salt for a more subtle effect.
Be sure and let your paper with the salt on it dry completely before removing the salt.
Helpful Hint: If the salt is a bit stuck, rub over it with the flat side of a credit card to remove it.
Now you are ready to stamp your images.
I placed the piece inside my Misti, inked with black Archival ink and stamped.
Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look.
Hope you get a chance to try it out.
