Hello and good morning!
I'm delighted to say that I am guesting this month at
I was so thrilled to be asked by the lovely ladies and jumped at the chance!
The challenge this month is to use Salt
I had never tried this before but I'm always up for a challenge and eager to learn new techniques...
Here's the finished result of my first attempt
I painted a piece of ordinary white cardstock with Gansai Tambi paints, randomly added table salt, let it dry and then brushed it away...
The result looked to me like a cold winter's night, trees with snowflakes coming down
So I thought it would be fun to add a little fox (a die gifted to me by my lovely blog friend Greta)
It's such a fun technique and the team have some amazing creations to inspire you up on the blog... Hop on over and take a peek ... We'd love it if you linked up Salt Watercolour creations too
Have a wonderful day!

Your salted background is amazing, Ros! I love how it created the look of trees among the snowflakes. So beautiful!! And I love how you've added that sweet fox and the woodgrain frame. Thanks so much for being our Guest Designer this month!!
It does look like a cold winter's night, what a beautiful background! And the little fox is just perfect!
Love your experiment with salt, Ros...I am afraid we are still very hot, but we did get a little rain! Have a beautiful weekend. Oh I watched all the British Open and I loved the last day especially the outcome...great golf and I always love seeing the countryside where they play.
Congrats on your GD work here Ros, love this technique and one I am playing with on the weekend...xxEnjoy your weekend.♥

You are the perfect GD for this challenge, my friend! I'm completely blown away with your background--I see exactly what you said & that was before I read it! In fact, I thought maybe there was some stamping! So glad you could use the little fox--a great scene! I tried the salt idea long ago--not really successful, but you've made me want to give it a go again! Hugs, Greta
Awesome technique! That's one of the fun ones that you never really know how it will turn out. Great effects!
This is beautiful Ros! Fantastic technique with a beautiful end result - love the card.
Congratulations on guesting at CAS Watercolour Challenge this month, Ros! Your cold winter's night scene is amazing! The snowflake background is stunning, and I love you painted the blue strokes - they make the scene look like forest. Hideko
