Julie Kirk inspired layout for Jennifer Grace with gilding

At this http://jennifergracecreates.com/guest-post-julie-kirk-with-a-fun-festive-layout/ you will see that Julie Kirk has used gilding on wood veneers.
I don't have any Christmas wood veneers but have little birds.

Using "Inca Gold" in gold and silver with a cotton bud I have achieved the same effect.

I was random where I put the gold and filled in the gaps with silver.

I also used a large journaling card with the 2 photos to tell the story.
