Now on to my project!

I used 4 different colors of craft metal sheets along with lots of other supplies to create a birthday card for my niece who loves the beach almost as much as I do!

~

~

I spread different Distress inks in shades of blue onto my craft sheet, then misted them with water and soaked it up with a sheet of watercolor paper.  I dried it with my heat tool and continued to dip and dry until it looked like I wanted it to.

~

~

I used a Lil' Inker frame texture plate with a sheet of Precious Pearl metal to form the frame, and used my craft knife to cut out the center of it.  I took an E47 Copic marker and colored the wood then used some Colorless blender on a paper towel to wipe some of it off, giving it a worn wood look.  I used an E49 marker to color the tiny dots around the center.

I die cut a piece of Baby Blue metal using a Memory Box Big Splash border die, then cut a piece of Perfect Peacock metal free hand into a curvy wave.  I flipped part of that over using the silver side for another wave.

~

~

The "enjoy" was die cut twice from some brown cardstock and once from a Brushed Bronze metal sheet.  They were layered together with glue to give the sentiment more dimension.

Once again, here's the finished card:
