HYCCT1527BONUS Laugh

Photo Details

Poster: catluvr2

For the HYCCT challenge "BONUS" to use salt. I've never been happy with the results of my salted watercolors. Not enough salt?? My doctor told me not to use salt so maybe I went too light. I tried - maybe I should buy some sea salt. I embossed the center using two of the Spellbinders Imperial Gold Rectangles One. Stamped the sentiment and floral motif and mounted on black base.

It's gorgeous! I wouldn't sweat it at all that it doesn't look like the typical salt background! The embossing is beautiful and that may be one of my favorite sentiments of HYCCT so far!
