I loved playing with this technique. While I was doing it I tried adding bits of foil instead of gilding flakes and I got a lovely effect. Thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration. I have learned SO much from you!

[@Chrissieannie]

Wonderful! Thank you😊

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your trees come to life. So much interest to be found in this small composition. There are a surprising number of steps that go into this clean and (not so 'simple') card. My gilding flakes have arrived and I absolutely get how addictive they could be! I too find myself saying "just a little more here". Thanks so much for the inspiration Christine.

[@kcinca5410]

I finally did a bit a gilding. I had a bit of packaging that I thought was going to work for burnishing the flakes but it did NOT work out. More flakes on the packaging than on the project it seemed. Luckily, I had a brand new Rub It Scrub It so I cut a small piece and it worked wonderfully. Now I want to gild every little thing. It makes me feel like an artist. This card is beautiful, as always. All those little bits of interest add so much to the card.

[@Chrissieannie]

I'm so glad you are succeeding and enjoying your gilding. Thanks as always for your comments! 🥰

[@CraftyDawn]

Wow. Another beautiful card. Thank you Christine. And by using the word Noel, you’ve reminded us of the Christmas Alphabet. Of course the standard English Alphabet has 26 letters. But the Christmas one only has 25. No L! The old ones are the best. Have a great day. Dawn 🌅

You keep inspiring me to invest in various pieces and parts for card making. Stop that!! (just kidding) Now I'm going to start looking for a snowy background embossing folder. I just found the trees die set! Although my Christmas card design is all set for this year, in the absence of the Noel, this would make a lovely winter-themed birthday card. ❄️💕 Thank you for continuing to inspire, Christine!

[@Chrissieannie]

Much of what I use has been in my possession for quite some years and so may not be readily available... which may encourage people to use what they already have, so it's not really my fault if you feel you have to buy something new! 😁😁😁 have fun !!!

[@MargueriteAtHome]

@@Chrissieannie So true. Considering I'm fairly new to the whole card-making scene, there's a lot I don't have. Seeing your creations helps me envision what various supplies will look like or how they will perform even before I invest in them (e.g., evergreen dies, gilding flakes, embossing folders). Thank you for the unintentional product demonstrations in addition to the tutorials. 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

😁😁😁

[@lyst3083]

I also tried to cut dies from different companies at the same time and had the same bad result. But if they are placed with distance one behind the other, than it is possible.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about PearlX so couldn't really comment about that, but I imagine that most pigment powders containing mica probably have similar properties.

Sorry i thought i mentioned in the video. I think the trees are from Impression Obsession and the sentiment from Sizzix!

Indigo Blu Luscious Pigment powder in Mermaid's Tail shade.

Love your Christmas cards as well ❤. I try my gilding flakes again, which you make me want to again.

If the surface still feels sticky, use an embossing Buddy or anti static tool over the surface to counteract the stickiness!

Pritt stick won't work, it needs to be a really tacky glue!

[@ellenoreazarow1166]

Can you recommend something like Lucious pigment powder for us in the U.S. Would love to buy from Indigo Blu but the shipping costs are prohibitive.

If you email IndigoBlu they will let you know stockists in the US. There are other companies which make shimmer powders, like Nuvo for example, but obviously colours will vary.

I think I need to get me a “scoochie” I used the “merry” profile die from Julie Hickey in a card I made on my channel on Friday with gilding flakes but wasn’t happy with the results. Perhaps I used too much glue?
