My only embellishment on my one layer CAS card is the Washi tape. Lots of texture when I covered my Brushos watercolored layer with a thick coating of Gesso to soften the colors. I was pleased with the results. While the Gesso was still wet I pressed my TCW mini textured stencil into the Gesso, which gave it very cool textures. 1st time I have tried that technique. Then when the Gesso was dry I placed my ARTplorations Happy Flowers Stencil and colored with SU markers. Worked fine even on the uneven texture. I wanted a subtle soft look for my flowers so would not take your eye away from the pretty background. I even found one small area smooth enough for a small sentiment.
