Here's another card using a salted background.
This one uses a NBUS dove die that's been waiting for use for
way too long!
I used a piece of watercolor background from this post.
Our CAS Watercolour Challenge this month is
But it must have watercolour!
The Design Team and our Guest Designer, Hideko (Papercraft Boutique)
have done some awesome inspiration pieces.
I hope you'll check them out then join in.
Since I have stamping, watercolor, salt, dry embossing and die cuts,
I'll add this over at CAS Mix Up too.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

What a beautiful background, Bonnie! Don't think I've ever done a watercolor background that pretty. Love it on that wonderful retired embossing folder.
ReplyDeleteThis is totally my kind of card - so much so that it's very similar to my DT reminder card for CAS Mix Up!!! Good thing I made it for the other challenge! I love yours with the beautiful watercoloured background, the great frame, and the embossed background.
