   Alright time for more secrets. Who doesn't like 'em? One of the new techniques I've learned and fell in love with is very fun to do. Heck even your kids will have fun doing this.

  
      Painting with watercolors, glue, and salt! I love doing this and using it as a background for something. Handmade postcards, ATCs, and rolos. So much fun. Want to learn how to do it? Stop on over @Sweet Happy Life and see how to do it step by step. It's pretty easy to get done.

   Or you can keep reading I'll give ya the gist of it. You can use canvas, paper, watercolor paper, whatever, I use watercolor paper. Since you will be using  A LOT of watercolor for this project. 

   Pick out a few colors and go to town. All over. Get it nice and coated. Who cares if it runs and mushes altogether. It's part of the process. Do not be afraid. Get in there and get you some! ... Okay that might have been a little much but you get the point! 

   Once you are done and satisfied take some CLEAR Elmer's Glue and go to town again! Yes! Do as little or as much as you like. There is no right or wrong way to do this project at all. You can not mess it up. I mean it. 

   All done with the glue? Great! Take some slat and sprinkle it around. The salt will give it that starburts affect. Also it SPARKLES! Who doesn't like some extra bling and sparkle? 

   Do not worry if it does not come out exactly like that is shown. They are using canvas. It will look a little different. I like using watercolor paper because everything see,s to dry flat. Glue and all. So it makes it great for my ATC backs and all that. 

   Simple, easy, fun, and can totally be messy! I got into real good one night and was messing with my paint brushes. Hitting my finger to give it that splattered affect. Total fun. Next day I woke up and realized "OH, shit!" orange paint all over everything. Lap top, wall, craft supplies, and everything. LOL Oh well. It was fun and worth it!
