To do this technique I ran my watercolor paper under the faucet to get it wet. I had added a little piece of double sided tape to my work surface paper so the watercolor paper wouldn't move around on me. Then I took my paint brush and used a bit of ink from the re-inker bottles and added it to the watercolor paper. I didn't try to make my lines even or straight. I just added whatever color on my brush in open areas too. When I had the paper covered I added the salt. You can see in the photo how much salt to add. You don't want to cover the paper like you would for embossing and you don't want the salt to sparse either. Once the salt was added I took my spray bottle and misted the pap

I took the fish stamp from the new Stampin' Up! "Just Beachy" set. I thought it was the most perfect image for this background on the smaller scale I needed it for.
Give this technique a try! It's a LOT of fun!!

Very, very cool Wanda! I'm going to give this a try this weekend. I've been curious how it would work with reinkers since dh did it on some his watercolor projects. Thanks!
p.s. your technique pages are always a huge hit at my stamping get togethers!

Very cool, I love the look of this background ;)
Did you use just table salt? Or something special?
