CAS Mix Up November Challenge - thank you

Welcome to our new challenge at CAS Mix Up!

Our talented Designer, Susan Joyce, is hosting the challenge this month and her theme is Oxidized Metal. Our wonderful guest designer is Arlene (Sudaystamper Papercrafts). 

There are tutorial video links at the challenge site, so please check them out and try this unique technique.

Here's my card:

Using Oxidized Metal Technique, Die-cutting, Heat-embossing, and Stamping

[How I made the card]
1. Lightly wet a piece of silver foil paper and dropped green and blue ink from re-inker bottles on it.
2. Dried the surface with a heating tool and covered the surface with clear embossing powder.
3. Heated the surface until the color of the embossing powder changed.
4. Well, I think I dropped too much ink and heated it too long...
    The surface film started peeling and part of it was completely gone after wiping off the surface with a paper towel. It made an interesting shape, and I didn't want to waste the piece, so I continued making the card using the piece.

5. Made a rectangular window in the front panel using a die, cut the Oxidized Metal piece into a rectangle using the same die, and popped it into the window. Taped them together in the back.
6. Stamped the sentiment and clear-embossed it.
7. Popped up the front panel on the card base and glued the thyme die-cut.
