And here is the card I made to attend this challenge:

I clear embossed Hero Arts' Nautilus Pattern Bold Prints background stamp on watercolor paper. Then I used brayer to roll three different colors of Distress Oxide inks on the background and spritz lots of water. I also sprayed Brushed Pewter Distress Mica Spray on the background to make it shimmery. Let it completely dry. I stamped the turtle (from Hero Arts' monthly kit) with three different colors of green inks and cut it out with the matching die. I cut the nautilus background to a smaller size and attached two stripes of holographic paper on both top and bottom of the background. I also attached the turtle with foam tapes on the card. Finish the card by stamping "sending inky hugs your way" (from Hero Arts' Stamped Just For You stamp set) on top of the card. Below is another look of the card:
