How did this person get the gold outline?

Luster dust? Let the RI dry, then go back with a paint brush and luster dust over the parts you want gold. Or, maybe the luster dust was mixed in with the RI that she used for the painted parts. Hmmm, maybe someone knows for sure.
you can make a "super gold" for piping but it's a bit pricey to do lots of it. mix gold highlighter/luster dust with vodka or clear extract into a paste consistency (lots of dust and a little liquid). then add piping gel to get to a piping consistency.
you can control how gold it is by adding more or less piping gel.
maybe this technique on the cookies was achieved by mixing the gold "paste" and then adding it to a small amount of RI.
I don't think just adding the luster dust to the RI would make it that gold unless you used a lot.
Right, I think she did brush embroidery with RI first, then painted over it with the luster dust.
I'm sorry, but I don't see any brush embroidery. I just just see the brush marks left from the brush, when you only color with a few layers. Was there are certain pic. that had the brush embroidery?
the monogram looks like colorflow/flooding to me.
Well maybe it's not exactly brush embroidery, but she is using a brush and pulling the RI thin. For simplicity sake in this post, can we call it brush embroidery.
These are definitely brush embroidery and they look similar to her autumn cookies. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=31289807
The monograms look like royal to me.
I'm just saying, cause the veining in the leaves is very solid. I don't see any pulling of the royal icing in the vening at all. I'm just trying to help make sure the cookie is replicated exact.
Some of them look like they were brushed out a bit... the picture you first go to when you click the link... the cookie to the far left that is flooded with red... that one looks like the RI is brushed out.
I'm sure it's just gone over with metallic dusts and vodka because there are two different colors... one that is gold and one that is bronze-y for the veins of the leaves.
Those cookies are brush embroidery and i don't think they look anything like the leaves. But okay. Sorry for stepping on your toes.
No toes stepped on. Everyone sees things differently. That's why the scratch/boxed debate gets so heated. 
The veining definitely isn't brushed out, but the outline is... that's what I see when I look at it anyway.

It's embroidery!
