Have I told you yet how much of a super time I’ve had joining in on Terry’s “The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop”! Never would I have imagined 13 weeks of so much fun. You really need to create and join in on the fun!

I taught a technique class last month and I showed my class how to create a background using Epsom Salts. The card they made had an Elegant Eggplant Cardstock background and I demo’d this background to them in class using Tangerine Tango:

If you click on any of the photos, you’ll get a close-up view of the texture. This technique is so cool. Just mix equal amounts of boiling water and Epsom Salts, brush on, let dry and voila:

LOVE the technique! Great combination of all the stamp sets! They work so well together!
I've never heard or seen of the Epsom salt technique. It looks very cool. I love the bats in the jar! And the two goofy bat with googly eyes. They're so cute. Thanks for the wonderful post. I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Hugs,

Very cool "bat" card and I love it all! Smiles, Elizabeth
Interesting technique Debbie. It actually looks like part of the spider web in the one photo. Cute card – looks like those bats on the outside are trying to figure out how to break the others out of the jar.
