I sat down this weekend to play with our Gilded Leafing. While I mostly just played and experiemented, I DID complete one card, and I love it! I was working at my Mom's and forgot my Heat n Stick, so I was limited by what I had on hand! I think it worked pretty well!
Measurements:
- Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 4" x 5 1/4", scrap
- Butterfly Bijou DSP (N): 1 Die Cut Butterfly
To Make This Card:
- Run Basic White trimmed quarter through Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder. Attach to folded Basic White card.
- Now, to the "Gilding"! I started with the "band" of gold. Place a strip of Tear & Tape on your card where desired. Remove top protective covering. Add leafing to Tape. Then, brush and burnish with a sponge. This creates an interesting effect, as the Embossing Fold comes through the tape. Really neat.
- For the "butterfly", I used a 2-way glue pen and highlighted the black, details on the butterfly. I let get a little sticky and then put on the Gilded Leafing and brushed and burnished with a sponge. Just gorgeous! Shape the Wings a little with the Bone Folder and attach to card with rolled Mini Glue Dots.
- For the pearl embellishments, I took a sponge and Multipurpose Glue and added glue to the pearls. I let it get tacky and then added the leafing. They are gorgeous, but a little messy to do.
- And, lastly, when I got home, I used my Heat n Stick Powder to Gild the sentiment. Stamp the sentiment in VersaMark. Add the Heart n Stick Powder, and just barely heat. (Note: In the past, we heated it from underneath!) Add the leafing, and brush off as before. I die cut around the sentiment. It was too big for my space, so I trimmed the Ornate Frame "tag". I attached it, flat to my card.
- Finish with cleaned pearls, or whatever embellisment you like.
