The challenge this week at 52 CCT is to use gilding or foils. I have had gold and silver gilding flakes in my stash for a couple of years that I have forgotten about.
I decided to go CAS with the card to really show off the gold ornaments. I made the ornaments using a sizzix die. I then ran them though my xyron sticker maker before adding the gold flakes. I really like the way they turned out. The sentiment was stamped and then embossing with gold embossing. For a little extra gold, I used gold thread for the stitching.
I hope you join us in this challenge and show us your creative projects using gilding or foils.
