Applied the inks in the order listed above and then added gold embossing powder. Not sure if I like the outcome of this technique or maybe it's just a bit too much gold in some spots.
Like the 4 way card, it stands so wonderfully showing off all the sides. I did the faux patina technique on all sides and in the middle on the reverse side, placed a happy birthday stamp and embossed it in gold ink. TFL!!

So love the colors you used, Ann. The faux patina is another technique I've always been going to try. I love the way it looks on your card. I also like the interesting shape you used for the center.

This is VERY impressive!!! The coloring is Beautifully subtle and at the same time very Electric. I can't explain that...that's just how it feels to me. I think the gold adds just the right amount of POP to it! Excellent card!

Wow, Ann! It must have been a lot of work doing the patina on all four panels but it gives such a rich and totally magnificent look. Great technique combination.
