I got an email from the Group of 7. They are a group of stampers who use different techniques, and ask us to join in. Well, this month is all about alcohol inks and gilding flakes. I have had these lovely gold flakes for years. It was time to have some fun!
I started with making an alcohol inked panel and added some some flakes. I do love the end result of this technique. It just steps up your card. I cut the panel with a diamond shaped cover plate die, and adhered the cuts onto my card base.
To finish off my card, I added a strip of gold glitter tape, and a birthday sentiment.
The advantage of using a cover plate is you can get 2 cards! That works for me.
I used [the retired] PTI's birthday die on some vellum, and this 2nd card is complete.
Thanks Group of 7 - I had so much fun with this technique.
Thanks for stopping by~

Two times the fun! These turned out great, Vicki!
Both cards are beauties, and I love the colors you've chosen! I think you're right, the gold just takes everything a step further
Your colors are my favorites, Vicki, and I love how you got two beautiful cards from one panel! I'm mesmerized by those little die-cut diamonds you put back on and how they - and the flakes - really took the design to another level! Thanks for joining us this month! Hugs, Darnell
Both cards are with beautiful colors from the alcohol ink and adding the gold leaf gives them a touch of elegance! Wonderful cards!

Oh, goodness, Vicki! You were very clever and smart when you went looking for a cover die for that panel! DOUBLE the fun and gorgeous colors and glam!
