Gilding Flakes

I swore I'd never use gilding flakes again after I made a card with them a while ago and during the process I coughed and they went everywhere! I recently needed a masculine card and thought of putting gilding flakes on leaves. I am so pleased how the card came out. It's amazing how well the flakes adhere when you don't cough, sneeze or have a fan on when using them. 

I try to take one day at a time . . .  but lately several days have attacked me all at once.






Be kind to one another.

Those gilded leaves look amazing Brenda, so autumny and rich. I haven't played with mine in ages, partly as it's so messy! You've inspired me to get the pots out and have a go, Cathy x

Love the look of gilding flakes on the leaves. Great masculine card . I haven't tried gilding flakes. This is a great fall design too.

Your gilding flake leaves are so beautiful Brenda. Even though they can be messy, there's nothing that matches their amazing metallic colours. xx

Good for you for getting the gilding flakes out again! You got great results with them. Love the combination of the two different colours of flakes.
