One Layer Wednesday #43

It's been five days since I made a card.  I was having withdrawals.  I had to make this quick one just to remind my fingers how to do this thing called card making.  The challenge was one layer with shimmer.  No embossing. I masked the oval with a large post it.  Rubbed versamark in the open area.  Brushed on bronze pearl-ex powder starting on the mask and moving towards the center.  You must tap off the excess or it will be way too dark. Then spray with a fixative.  I originally had the leaf in the oval but it just didn't look quite right.  I tried it  on scrap paper first for the most aesthetic look.  I like how this turned out.   And that's it, it's only 8:30 and I am taking my weary body to bed.  Thanks for looking.  This card took about two minutes to make.
