This is for markie's mom's VSN challenge of using gold. I used this SEI patterned paper that has beautiful foiled gold stripes in it, along with some gold ribbon.
I have the hardest time getting solid image stamps to stamp fully, so I had to color in the bird with a little prismacolor pencil. (and I still finished with time to spare, which is a bit unusual!)

This is stunning! That paper is gorgeous Meg! I know what you mean about solid images (I stamp with outline images WAAAAY more than solid ones), I can't tell you helped it along at all! Terrific card!

Such nice striped paper with gold stripes. I have trouble with solid images too. Good idea to use pencils for touch-ups. Congrats on winning a medal.
