The card base was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and I brushed the Inka-Gold Paint onto the embossing. The center part of the card front is a torn, distressed page from an old book.
This card is based on one I saw online.

Punched Flowers
These are made from Stampin' Up cardstock. The flower was punched with an 1.75" scallop circle punch, the petals were clipped and then shaped and I brushed them with gold Inka-Gold Paint. The flower center is from the Boho Blossom punch.

It's hard to see the gold metallic paint on the cards well in these photos. The ribbon is sheer with a gold thread in it. I added some Pearl Pen dots in the flower centers.

Using Inka-Gold Paints Again
The jeans pocket was cut using Old West cartridge. It's actually a card shape but I cut it in half to use just one. Added some Chestnut Roan inking and a little doodling for the stitching.
Now if I just had a punch for the flowers so they didn't have to be cut out one at a time, I'd be in business! LOL!

Poppy flower
I'm posting this on here so I won't forget how I did it! LOL!
I stamped the flower with black Staz-On ink onto red cardstock, used gold Inka-Gold paint to add some highlights and added dots with a gold Pearl Pen in the center. Each petal of the flower is cut into 4-5 thin pieces to make it look like a poppy.
Petals are cut into about 3 pieces in this photo.
This is after clipping them the second time.

Where I got the Inka-Gold paints
http://www.heartfeltcreations.us is the company that had the booth where Carrie Elmore and I bought these.
This page shows the colors of the Inka-Gold paints I used on the flowers. I didn't buy the large size containers like they list on their blog; they had a set of all 10 in tiny jars so you could get them all for $29.99 at the CKC in Tulsa.
You can see that the jars are less than 1.5 inches in diameter so they're pretty small. I figure that they hold enough for me to see if I'm going to use them.
The demonstrators were using a moistened sponge to apply the paint onto the edges of paper flowers. The damper the sponge, the more of the paint you get on it to apply. It can also be blended but I haven't even tried that yet!

Using Inka-Gold Paints
While in Tulsa at the CKC show, Carrie Elmore and I watched a demonstration of Inka-Gold paints. They were using them to highlight the edges of cut out flowers. I fell in love with the way the flowers looked with the metallic paint added.
The booth had so many different stamps that co-ordinate with Nestabilities to cut them out, that it was hard for me to pick which ones I like the best. I picked up a couple of different flower stamps and the Inka-Gold's but it was not fun to walk away with only two sets of stamps, for sure!
Here are some photos of the flowers I did this afternoon to give the paints a try. I used a wet makeup wedge sponge to apply the metallic paint onto the cut out flowers.
Of these four, the ivory with the gold edges is my favorite. It has the most contrast on it so the gold shows up better. I used gold on one red flower and then I tried putting the red metallic paint on another one. The effect is really nice, but not what I was trying to achieve.
These Inka-Golds are going to be a great way to add shine onto a project. Once dried, it won't transfer off so I can use it for Cards for Soldiers cards with no worries.
Each of the finished flowers with the paper used for them.
Cream paper with gold.
Light brown paper with gold.
Red paper with gold.

Red paper with red metallic paint. The paint is too close to the color of the paper so there's no real contrast, but it made gorgeous metallic red paper!
I used a Pearl Pen to do the centers on all the flowers.
