CAS3 adding texture to one-layer card

Day 9/10 of the OCC Clean and Simple Cards 3 was all about creating textural effects on one-layer cards.


I used the following sketch from CAS(E) this sketch for my lay-out:


I kept this card very simple. I sprayed 3 colours of Promarkers (turqoise, marine and petrol blue) using the Tim Holtz spritzer tool and the Tim Holtz Bubble stencil, after masking the part where I wanted to stamp the sentiment (Petals & stems by Avery Elle). After stamping the sentiment I used a banner die to add some texture by embossing the die instead of cutting it. To finish the card off and to create a litle movement, I added some silver sequins.

I'm also linking the card up for the following challenges:
AEIheartU - 3 Ombre/gradient
Cards in Envy - Anything A2 goes
I ♥ ProMarkers - 212 Anything goes
CAS on Sunday - One-layer wonder
Less is More - 164 Use 3 of something
(3 colours, 3 sequins, 3-word sentiment LOL)
