This month is hosted by Susan (Cat Ink.corporated) and has chosen a really fun technique to try. I had a lot of fun playing with re-inkers and metal card stock!
Arlene (Sunday Stamper) is joining us this month as our Guest Designer. Welcome Arlene! Please check out the challenge blog to see ?'s oxidized metal card, along with the other amazing cards done by our Designers.
The framed fern was die-cut from black mirror card that has the same shine. It was glued on top of the background and a simple black stamped sentiment finishes the card.

this is such a cool technique and your card is so stunning done in the blues - i am not home until end of december (no craft room) and can't participate and would really love to give this a try!
This is a new to me technique but may have to get inky and have a go. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
Beautiful - the blue and black together are so striking!! Must try and get a card done for this challenge!
I love royal blue and so love your beautiful background! The black leaf within the frame looks amazing against the fabulous background! Gorgeous card, Loll!!
What a beautiful patina on this Loll! I imagine the whole card just shines in real life. Love that rich blue and the fact that the die cut was cut from shiny paper too. Just gorgeous!
This is so brilliant, Lolly! That blue was my wedding color so I love it totally!! Thank you for the tips! Hugs, Dolly
Gorgeous results, my friend! I love the blue and black and all that metallic shine! Wow!
I've been wondering how you got this gorgeous colour! I used actual metal, but will now try it on mirror cardstock:) Your card is so stunning!
So beautiful, Loll! This is amazing -- love the beautiful colors you got!
Wow!!! Gorgeous shine and blue and black colors, Loll. Would make a great guy card! TFS your detailed steps too. You have me inspired:-) Hugs..Nancy
Simply stunning Loll, gorgeous rich colour matched perfectly with the shiny black framed leaf..lovely - Robyn
Oh it's beautiful! Love the richness of the blue there!
I had to go watch the video so I knew what you were talking about, Loll. Such an interesting technique and your results are gorgeous. I don't have re-inkers but I will try the other way.
Intense and ooh so rich. The blues truly come to life and make for an incredible background. Love the dark fern balancing with the sentiment. A classic beauty. Thanks for the tip too xxx
Oh be still my blue colour-loving heart... love your gorgeous dramatic background. Striking card. Will have to give this technique a try.
I have to give this technique a go, your background looks amazing. Love the die cut in the black too, very striking xx
Love that deep blue background with the dark shiny die cut, fabulous xx
Beautifully done and so bright and pretty on that blue card Loll, and love the leaves made from the shiny black mirror card. x
Your background is so striking, Loll! I love how the colors blended (especially black) and how it adds so much dimension to your design! I also love that you chose the framed fern for your focal point...such a gorgeous card!
Loll you really nailed this technique, I love all the elements of your card.
What a stunning card with a great technique and what beautiful colours. Thank you for the tips and thank you for the amazing inspiration Loll x.
You got wonderful results with the technique, Loll! I love how your oxidized metal background turned out. The colors are simply gorgeous! Matching the shine of the die-cut fern by using the black mirror cardstock is a clever idea. Thank you for the useful tips on drying ink!

Your oxidized metal background is amazing. It's really one of the most amazing things I've seen lately. I imagine how in reality the light on the mirror plays underneath ...

So lovely with that black die cut over the brilliant blues Loll - I've got to check out the metallic technique videos! xx
the background is stunning Loll and the black die cut is perfect :)
Wow Loll you certainly got the best out of this technique. Mine have failed so far but going to persevere till I get something worth while. Gorgeous colours and I bet that leaf just shines brilliantly.
