Peace On Earth

Hello bloggers!  I pulled out the gilding flakes for today's card.  I covered a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and sprinkled on some Copper Teal Gilding Flakes.   I used a piece of Rubit Scrubit pad to move the flakes around the card, then to refine and remove the excess flakes.  I matted the piece with some gold mirror card then added it to a piece of milk card.  I used the Poinsettia Banner die and cut it out of milk card.  I added the poinsettia cut out of gold mirror card to the underneath side of the die.  I cut the scrolls out of antique gold card and glued both of them to the die cut.  I stamped the Peace On Earth sentiment in black and cut it out with the banner die from the set and glued it behind the banner in the die cut.  I attached the piece to the centre of the card with mounting foam.  The card was completed with milk mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now,  Sue x

Hi Sue. I have just been making some cards using this die set and am beginning to run out of ideas so I am so pleased you have posted this today which has given me a new idea. Love the colourway of cream and gold as it is so classy.

Oh WOW! What a dazzling background. I love (and hate) gilding flakes but an entire background done in flakes is beautiful. This is a card I'd have to keep.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend,
