Letterpress Techniques
Circle background and golden deer head
For this card I made a letterpress background with a circle pattern (WRMK) and then added another letterpress card with the golden deer head (Studio Calico). Frankly, I don't think the golden paint is shiny enough. If I would remake this card today, I would probably fill in the deer head pattern with some Martha Stewart's Liquid Gold to make it shine more. :)

If you used the Gold letterpress ink - I have it too and it is NOT shiny AT ALL. I was disappointed about that too. But I like the painted look on the deer head anyway :)

@Bruhni I did use the letterpress gold ink and you're right. Not very shiny. Not like gold foil. LOL But now I have a bottle of Martha Stewart's Liquid Gold that is very shiny, and I could take a small brush and paint the letterpressed image to get the shiny effect. So that's a tip.
