Dry Embossed Gilding Flakes!

This "You Tube" Video shared by the GO7 girls was very helpful.

Amazing Embossed Gilding Flakes.

Here is my Snowflakes Tag Christmas Card...Enjoy!

I used a small scrap of SU Basic White 100# paper then added

 Scotch Double Stick Tape to the paper.

Then placed the scrap in a plastic container and carefully added pinches of the

Nuvo Gold Gilding Flakes onto the cut cardstock in the container and

used my finger to burnish the flakes.  When completely covered I removed the

burnished piece and placed on my glass craft mat.

Then used a craft small brush to brush off the excess flakes into the container.

Then added the loose flakes from the container back into the Nuvo Jar.

No mess and/or flying Gilding Flakes everywhere😄

I then realized my piece was a good size for a Tag!

I die cut with CUTplorations "Stitched Tags Nesting Dies".

Then Dry Embossed my tag with Spellbinder 3D Embossing Folder 

"Flurry of Snowflakes".  My 1st time to use this wonderful folder.

Next I lightly added SSS White Pigment Ink directly to the raised dry EB snowflakes.  

The pigment ink was not drying so I added SU Clear EB Powder.  Then Very carefully heat EB with my heat tool.  Too much heat would have melted the gold gilding.

Whew...turned out!

Then Die cut the CUTplorations "Christmas Sentiments Dies" Merry sentiment

out of SU Red Glitter Paper and attached with Connect Glue using Fine Tip Bottle

and weighted down with large acrylic block.  

Added SU rhinestones and retired ribbon,

Next used the same 3D snowflakes folder for the dry embossed background.

Popped up the tag with craft foam and attached to the snowflakes background.

Then attached the layers to SU Basic White Cardbase

and Done😄

I was Very Happy with the results and also happy to add to my Christmas Stash!

Thank you GO7 girlfriends for all the inspiration...I am loving your technique💖

Love and Hugs..
