Gilded flower.


Hi everyone, it's time for a reminder for the latest challenge at CAS Stencil
where the theme is gilding flakes.


There are lots of projects from the DT to inspire you and there are some video tutorials on the blog if you're new to this technique. I hope you can play along.

For this card I dabbed versamark ink through a stencil, removed the stencil, then sprinkled on some Ranger sticky embossing powder. 
It's important to be ready to apply the gilding flakes as soon as the powder is heated up, once it cools it's too late and the flakes won't stick.
 Remember too, to pop the stencil straight into a tub of water to help with cleaning the ink off.

I brushed off the excess flakes with a stencil brush.

I'm linking up to these challenges:






Supplies:
Studio Light stencil; versamark ink; Ranger sticky embossing powder; Creative Expressions autumn leaves gilding flakes; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; sentiment sticker.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

This is just gorgeous, not sure I could handle doing all those thing at virtually the same time. I am sure I would end up with the flakes not sticking and the stencil have dried on glue all over it! You did an amazing job xx

A really strong look using the gilding flakes with a stencil on black card, and the image really pops Cathy. A gorgeous Mother's Day card. x

I love the stencil you used for this wonderful Mother's Day card Cathy - such a great mix of colors in your flakes and so pretty with the white framing breaking up the black base!xx

I was so planning to play with this challenge last month but goodness know where it went. Funny I only had my flakes out just before the challenge started. Love that beautiful colourful flower Cathy.
