Hi Stamping Friends,
I did the watercolor salt technique for my club this month and my Watercolor Wonder stamp set of the month. I try to make a video for stamp set of the month explaining the technique.
The video turned out to be to a little too sunny but I hope you’ll be able to get an idea of how to try the technique. It’s easy, fun, and you get a surprise with the color variations at the end.
I would use more salt than less on this technique.
