Less is More - Sentiment

Hi all, it's saturday, and that means a nice new challenge at Less is More! This week the challenge is a one layer card, with the sentiment as the main focus.

Well, I have plenty of large sentiments from Visible Image, and I chose this fab sentiment!






I used a large 6x6 card base, and sprinkled some Leaf Green and Terracotta Brushos onto it acros the card diagonally, then lightly spritzed with water to release the magic. When dry, I sprayed with Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer in antique gold, it has a greeny/gold tint to it.


Then I stamped the sentiment in Versamark, and used some green/gold two tone embossing powder, it also left a golden shimmer over the whole card, I tried to catch it in the second picture here, but it doesn't really do it justice.

Well, a nice, quick and easy card to make, and shimmery too!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Pauline
