One of the biggest challenges in hybrid scrapbooking is to replicate the golden sheen found in many kits. I did a little experimenting and found an easy way to add back the golden glimmer.

On the left, you can see the card as it looked right after printing.There is nothing wrong with just printing the card and using it as is. It just doesn’t shimmer. On the right, you can see the finished card after I have painted the dots with the gold ink. It’s not quite a gold foil look, but it does have a nice sheen.
