This was my card for the Gold, Gold, and more Gold Challenge. When I think of using Gold, I think of Aura cards. It may be hard to see in this photo, but Aura cards use a lot of gold! The image is embossed in black and then coloured in with bright colours. Then, using those same bright colours, sponges are used to spread the "aura" around the image. Then gold ink is used to sponge all around the aura. I used some Summer Sun to brighten up the gold. Then, black ink is sponged from the corners in, to look like night and make the aura really pop. I also stamped the saying in gold and used gold paper and gold eyelets. So, there's definitely gold, gold and more gold on this card ... not to mention the ink on my fingers!

OK, that's cool. TFS
I'll need to revisit this technique.
And, boy, do I wish I had gotten that butterfly! I have yet to see a card made with it that I didn't like. A lot.
