First thing I did was heat emboss the image in black powder. Then I colored it in with Distress Inks again. (I haven't purchased the Distress Marker's yet - so I'm still using the 'smoosh' pad method and my aqua brush!). I embossed the card background with a Cuttlebug folder, then hit the raised portions with my silver ink pad for the metal look. I did the same thing on the orange and yellow layers. I used a PTI sentiment and then decided to outline the Nestie shape with silver liquid pearls. I also popped up his birthday hat on dimensionals!
Here's May's sketch if you want to play along:
Thanks for your visit!

awesome, he will love it!!!!
Love the way you did the metallic effect... If I try and rub my stamp pad, it goes everywhere... And the colouring is awesome. The nestie looks great dressed up with silver liquid pearls.
Sorry that I have not visited...

Adorable!! What a sweet little image and then the wonderful embossing, just so perfect for a boy. You will love the markers when you get them, they are amazing and so easy to use, loving your liquid pearls, another favorite, makes mailing cards so much easier, but still adds bling. Hope you are feeling better and Sweet Pea is doing well.
So stinkin' CUTE! Great color and texture!
Like the way you did the embossed background and the image is so cute and colored beautifully! Wonderful card!

So CUTE! Love the sweet image and all of your wonderful details. The dry embossing is FAB! Thanks for joining us at SFYTT!
Oh he's adorable! I really like this card, and the dry embossing is a perfect addition for a boy card.
A great boy card! I like how you repeated the dry embossing on the strip of card stock.
