The Blackout Technique makes such a great looking card. I've done it with Simon Hurley's Lunar Paste and now I've tried it with metallic watercolors. I have Finetec Pearlescent Watercolors which are highly pigmented. You can also try Altenew's metallic watercolors which should work, but I don't own those.
I used Scrapbookcom's black Mixed Media cardstock. It's very heavyweight and can absorb the water and watercolors without buckling. I can't recommend this paper enough.
I just randomly swirled on the paint covering the entire sheet. Very easy to do!
I then took the Spellbinder's Rosette Burst 3D embossing folder (It was November's 3D embossing folder of the month) and flipped the folder over so that the raised side is what touched the painted side of the paper.
After I ran it through the machine, I rubbed a Black Archival ink pad over the paper. It highlights the paint that is pushed into the paper.
It looks so good. There's so many medium you can use for this technique, you just have to try what you have.
For the sentiment, I painted a scrap of the same black paper with the gold paint and diecut the Simon Hurley Everyday Sentiments for Happy Birthday.
