Gold shimmer watercolor birthday card accents.

Adding a touch of gold shimmer makes a quick and easy accent for a handmade card.

I am sharing a way to add gold watercolor to a sentiment panel.

Sentiment:  Birthday hugs & wishes for a very special year.

This card sparkles with shimmer much more in person.  The background flowers were stamped onto gold shimmer vellum.  And gold watercolor was added to the sentiment panel.

I made a quick video tutorial on adding gold watercolor accents.

It is difficult to photograph the shimmer.  However, the video captures it a little better.  

This is the card a little closer.

Supplies:  Unity Stamp Co. Obsessed with Floral and Rectangle Scalloped {border stamps}, vellum, Ranger archival ink, Gansai Tambi Starry Colors watercolor, adhesive pearls and lace.

I hope you have enjoyed this project.   If you would like to see a particular crafty tutorial or technique, feel free to mention it in the comments.

Have a lovely day.
