Gilding Flakes & Wildflowers

Hi All,

I'm back again with another tutorial from Dabble Day - I'm working my way through in between website updates, which I'm way behind on! 

The gilding flakes on this card make a great background and I love these Tim Holtz Wildflower dies! 


On a 7x7" card blank use 12mm double sided tape to create a border around the whole card - make sure you butt right up to the edges and have no gaps. Then peel the backing off the tape and sprinkle gilding flakes over the top (I did this one side at a time). Use a piece of Rub It Scrub It or a stencilling brush in a circular motion to remove the extra gilding flakes and tip them back in the pot.

Diecut a set of Tim Holtz wildflower dies from black cardstock and also punch a circle and diecut a pierced square. 

Cut a square of A4 adhesive sheet and stick it to the same size piece of card. Remove the top layer of the backing and stick down your diecut flowers and circle moon - some can hang off the edge and you can trim the excess off later. Use the backing off the adhesive sheet to rub over all of the positioned diecuts to adhere them properly. Cover the leftover sticky area with gilding flakes and remove excess as before.

Wrap black twine around this panel and add a twine bow and black pearls. Mat onto your ready diecut square and onto card blank.

Stamp words onto black cardstock using a WOW! clear inkpad and emboss using WOW! Fairytale embossing powder. Chop words as required and add to card.
