Watercolour Background

A few months ago, my friend Pete told me about sprinkling rice on wet water-coloured images. I'd only ever heard of using salt, so I thought I'd give her suggestion a go. As you can see, the rice absorbs the colour leaving a very distinct pattern behind, which varies based on how much water is on the paper. Less water results in a clearer, more well-defined pattern, while more water creates a softer look.

Beautiful card, Beccy. I've never heard of using rice before, looks an interesting technique. Thanks for the inspiration.
