When I saw this challenge I instantly thought of the alcohol ink [with gold foil] panels I made a few weeks ago. Perfect.
I also grabbed out my never-before-used Pretty Pink Posh Cherry Blossoms stamp set, with matching dies. [I won these from a give-away that Lisa Elton ran on her blog months ago. I can't believe I'm just getting around to using them!]
The gold foiling is more apparent on this photo. I just love this effect. So pretty and shiny IRL. My HB is from Lawn Fawn Year Two. I did the no blend coloring technique on the images. I still need some more practice, but I do enjoy the fun look. I am also entering this card into the NBUS Challenge #17 that Darnell runs. (I don't think I have ever played in this challenge.)
Okay, I'm done. Your turn -- Come on over to the Seize the Birthday Challenge and play along. While the add gold is optional, being a birthday card is not. Have fun creating.
Thanks for stopping by~

Very pretty background and yes, the gold foiling on it is lovely. Pretty flowers too.
Haha, I forgot about those stamps and dies!! Sure do love what you've done with them though!
Fabulous AI background, Vicki - perfect for your flowers!!
Welcome to your first entry at NBUS, Vicki, and thank you for sharing with everyone! And I learned about something new from you: no blend coloring. Cool! I love the alcoholic background, awash with highlights of gold. Those blossom stamps and images and your vellum sediment go perfectly with it! Keep safe! Hugs, Darnell
Ooohhh! Pretty!! That gold foil kinda gives a marbled look, right - I absolutely love that look! Beautiful for a background for anything at all - and those cherry blossoms look wonderful!
This is gorgeous! Love the vibrancy!
If you are lucky enough to have a gorgeous background layer like this one, I would use it too. It is delightful
Great choice using the no-blend colouring for the flowers - it works perfectly with the alcohol ink background!
You are rocking the no blending look Vicki! Perfect panel for our touch of gold! Such a great card!
Gorgeous AI panel, love the foiling on it and your flowers match it perfectly! The sentiment stamped on the vellum circle looks fab too, Cathy x
Great card for this challenge, Vicki. Especially like the bright colors and the way you've created the alcohol background. tfs-stay well.
I love gold on the vibrant alcohol inked panel! So gorgeous!!! The no blending coloring of the flowers looks fabulous!
I am in awe of your gorgeous background, Vicki! I am still struggling with alcohol inks. Clearly I just need to put in more time practicing with them. Thanks for having me as a guest and for your sweet comments!
Ooh, I love those slivers of gold on your background!
