After my recent playtime with fountain pen inks – I came across my Bombay India Ink set that’s been waiiiiiiiting for its turn for maybe a year now?! They’re less expensive than fountain pen inks, so I wanted to see if they’d react in similar ways.
The inks didn’t perfom the same (not all do) – but I’ll show you my testing process as well as try out making a background with salt that turned out like snow – just in time for holiday season, amirite!?

I added some brand new @sunnystudiostamps and torn paper to finish them off easy peasy. Punch or diecut a moon out of white cardstock and you could get a whole bunch of cards done with one background piece!
Each section of the sky on a card like this feels like a different level of snowstorm!
I hadn’t thought too carefully about where my moon would be placed in this circumstance so the lighting is off, but I’m pretty sure I can send this to someone who’s not heard me blathering on about light sources (like my cousin in Vermont!) and they’d never notice!

Lovely cards Sandy.
The way you made these backgrounds is a great idea, this way you can use it for
more than one card. I have from Pergamano Tinta ink and will try that with salt,
curious how that would turn out. Or with bleach.
Thank you so much for sharing, stay safe and have a wonderful day.
Very pretty
