To make this shiny gilded birthday card I used an A2 size card base made from smooth white card stock. I then cut down a panel of white card stock to leave a bit of a border. I then hot foiled the panel with a backgrouond hot foil plate using gold foil. I then took the butterfly and flower hot foil dies and ran them all through the die cut machine using gold foil. I colored the flower and butterflies using copic markers YG01, YR04, YG21, Y13, RV13, and RV14. I heat embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment in gold embossing powder on white card stock and trimmed it down to a strip. I die cut all the hot foil images out and added them to the front of the panel along with the sentiment strip. I then added flat gold pearls.
