Playing with one of my favorite sets today: SU! Petal Pallet. I just never get tired of those roses and that pretty bird!
The other day, my Son-in-law said that aluminum foil can be used for just about anything. I told him I use it for crafting all the time - not sure he believed me.
I demonstrated how I use it today. I started this card with a sheet of aluminum foil. I swiped my inks on it, splashed it with water, and dipped in my base panel. I love this technique, I allows you to make matching dp for any image or card. After I got the desired effect, I hit the panel with the heat gun a bit and set it aside to dry fully.
Next, I stamped the images and sponged on color. I fussy cut some roses and leaves from another sheet and sponged them as well. To finish this up, I added in some old ribbon, a bit of glitter, and popped everything up. The sentiment is from Strong and Beautiful (SU!).
I am entering this card in the Global Design Project Challenge - #GDP191. The theme is Bees, Birds, & Butterflies.

Nancy, gorgeous effect with the inks. I originally thought your back panel was designer paper :). Love the card.
