Dry Embossed Gilding Flakes

Hi everyone.  

Susan led the group for our zoom call we had in early March.  She had come across a video using gilding flakes with dry embossing and thought we would all enjoy giving this a try.

Gilding Flakes add an elegance to cards, whether you add a lot or just a little.  Adding the dry embossing gives dimension, along with the swipe of archival ink to emphasize the highlights.  Definitely worth trying this technique!

FYI, the group mostly found the ink stayed sticky for a while when swiped over the gilding flakes.  It eventually dries.
