One last card I got to make from the online card class. I wish I had more time this week because there are several more things I want to do, especially the new marbling technique from Laura Bassen. But, life does interfere so I will try them hopefully next week.
This card was my first attempt to use gilding flakes. I used a scalloped stamp and added sticky powder then mashed on flakes. Then took a stencil brush and brushed it off. More flaked off than I wanted but I do love the effect. I should have used a smaller stamp so I could add this sentiment but I didn't know what sentiment I was going to use before I flaked so Duh. I will make another card with gilding flakes and get better at it. Go to go to the garage. I hope that I can work out there because the wind today is blowing so hard here. Will have to work with the garage door closed. Be kind to one another.

What a perfect sentiment for all that shimmer and shine Brenda! I love those gilding flakes. Only worked with them one time and that was years ago, but did love it. And I so love your card too my friend. Can't wait to see what else you make from this class! Just a gentle breeze here today for once. lol But hotter than a firecracker today, tomorrow and Friday-almost 90. Then back to the 70's for the weekend. Hugs, Brenda
Do I need gilding flakes now? I see the sparkle and shine, I can just imagine IRL what it looks like! I think you really nailed this class friend!! Wish we lived closer to do them together!! Heart Hugs, half way though the week!!
Sounds like you are having much fun making these sparkly cards. They look great too.
Wonderful sentiment to go with the sparkle on your card design.
I really should take the class just so I'd use my gilding flakes which I've had for many years! Looks beautiful, Brenda!
