Hi bloggers! Changing gears for this one to gilding flakes! I started by cutting the
Celtic Square background out of black card. I covered another piece of black card with a sticky adhesive sheet and added the background over the top of it. I used the
Sunlight Speckle Gilding Flake and applied it using a piece of
rubit scrubit pad to refine and remove the excess flakes. I cut one more background out of white card and nipped away four pieces of it and mounted it onto another piece of card with
sticky adhesive sheet on it. I used the same process applying the gilding flakes. I mounted it in a diamond orientation in the centre of the card. I used the
For You Shadowed Sentiment and seated it in the centre. Using the
Striped Nasturtiums, I made three white glittered flowers and added them in opposite corners of the card. I used Fern Fronds as accents around them. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now Sue x

Morning Sue. Only a crafter would appreciate the true beauty behind the photography. A crafting newbie wouldn't know how gorgeous guilding flakes look but after you sharing this absolutely beautiful sample with us maybe it will make them curious enough to try them. Your background dies are made for all the mediums available to us, a match made in heaven. Have a lovely day whatever your plans xxx

Hello Sue and all
Beautiful gilding flakes background, they are always so rich looking and the striped nasturtiums with their glitter are perfect.

Hello Sue,
Gilding flakes are such a wonderful product to use on your cards. They give such a regal elegance whenever and wherever they are used that looks like it took hours to create. The die used in today's card is perfect for showing off how fabulous they are.
Have a wonderful day.

Good Morning Sue and all
Stunning card this morning and I love seeing your cards when you have added some gilding flakes . Adding the black card really makes the card pop as well all know the flakes are so much more beautiful in the flesh and finished beautifully with the Nasturtiums flower.

Another great card
Hi Sue
Ah - gilding flakes - classy. What an elegant card. I really love the Celtic Squares background and using it with these stunning flakes shows it off perfectly. Exquisite.
the Striped Nasturtiums - haven’t seen them for a while - they’re gorgeous . The contrast of the white flowers against the elegant black and gold is striking.
Anne(Northampton) enjoy the NEC x
Happy Thursday everyone

Hi Sue, I always like your cards with gilding flakes and although there is a lot of black here the white Nasturtiums and centrepiece lift it and make it seem less sombre. I think this design suits the Celtic Square Background perfectly.
Frances
Looks great - personally I wouldn't have added the flowers ....but then, I don't particularly like flowers on cards at any time ;)
Hello Sue
This is my favourite of the week. I don't use gilding flakes enough will have a go later on.
Hi Sue,
Stunning card!
I have the dies so will give it a go.
Thank you for the inspiration.

Hi Sue. What a really lovely card today. I love the effect that you get with gilding flakes as the result is not as brash as mirri card but you still get all the opulence.
Lisbeth
Lovely inspirational card design. When I use gilding flakes, seems like I always instantaneously sneeze making my gilding flakes fly all about. I still like to use them.
Gorgeous card Sue love using guilding flakes.
