Hello and Happy New Week!
Hope everyone is doing okay.
I'll be popping in a few times today and this is my first post.
A birthday card in navy blue, berry pink and teal with a background I created using alcohol inks and gilding flakes. I also ran it through an A7 bubble wrap embossing folder on the debossed side to give it even more texture.
Supplies Used:
SU card stocks - pink and navy
Tim Holtz Metallic Gold and Silver Kraft card
Spellbinders A7 Bubble Wrap embossing folder
Stamplorations sentiment die
Lawn Fawn banner die
Avery Elle balloon and confetti dies
Stamped sentiment (unknown) heat embossed with Ranger gold ep
I used a Splitcoaststampers sketch for my layout deisgn.
I flipped it 180 degrees and made an A7 card.
I try to play with Group of Seven Cardmakers every month and this month it's the AI's and Gilding Flakes (linked below in challenges even though it's a technique share).
I had so much messy fun making the front and back background. I made several using different colored inks and have the stained fingers to prove it, lol. I'll show those backgrounds as I use them. For this background, I used 4x6 white glossy photo card and chose Ranger alcohol ink colors Patina for the teal and Denim for the navy blue. I added in the berry pink with SU card stock. For the gilding flakes, I used what I had which is Indigoblu Royal Peacock Flitter Flakes. I was surprised that I could dry emboss glossy photo card. I thought it would crack so I chose a design that didn't have skinny raised ridges. The Spellbinders bubble wrap folder was a good choice. I used it after inking and before applying the gilding flakes with glue in a needlepoint applicator.
I left it overnight.
The inside with a Hero Arts sentiment stamped with Versafine Clair ink.
I ran this through the embossing folder the usual way. Here you can see the raised bubbles.
And final view.
Thanks for the visit today.
Have a good one!

What a beautiful guilded AI panel you created Aimeslee! You achieved such lovely thin lines of the guilding flakes with your glue application. Great texture added by embossing the panels too! thanks for sharing with us at GO7! Julia xx
Wow! This is so fun - I LOVE the background you created - and those gilding flakes add so much! Such a bright, playful card! Thanks so much for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
Those backgrounds are gorgeous Aimslee! The alcohol ink colours are amazing together and the gilding flakes add a special touch with lots of glittery shine. Adding in the dry embossing was such a great idea!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful card with us at Group of Seven! xx

The gold give your card quite the lift. My gilding paper is tucked away someplace. But it is always fun to use it and then create such spectacular results. And the blue and green are my favorite colors. Super card Aimeslee. hugs-Erika
This is a really great use of this sketch. I love the background color and how the pink just pops against this too. Very eye catching.
