Do you love giving new techniques a try to change your cards up a bit?
Today I am sharing one of the fabulous cards we are creating at my September 2020 FMN card class that features a salted background, a little bit of stamping off, and highlighting with sponges techniques…WOW three techniques PLUS this one is a fun fold!
The focal point of today’s project was inspired by a swap I received from Katherine Anderson.

Even with all this card has to offer, it really does not take too much time to create.
I love how the rich color and unique texture created by the salted background technique compliments the coffee theme of this project. Each time you create using this technique you get a different appearance- LOVE THIS!
The sponging behind the die-cut “coffee” fading out to the cups, really gives it a nice highlight don’t you think?
The final touch of the Star Designer Elements add the perfect sparkle!
