Here is my card I did for our October Reveal using the new stamp set
'Lovely as a Leaf'.


I first cut a Tutti Designs Stitched rectangle and made sure my stamp would fit
entirely on it, knowing I was going to 'frame' it later.

I then applied Nuvo Glue Pen (large pen) directly to the stamp
and stamped onto the die cut.
This glue is 'blue' which I love as you can see it quite well,
but dries perfectly clear.
The glue is a 'tacky' glue, meaning it is quite sticky
and by setting it aside for a minute or so, it becomes even more 'sticky'.

While the glue was 'setting up', I mixed up 3 different Nuvo Gilding Flakes
in a container, Silver Bullion, Radiant Gold, and Sunkissed Copper.
I used my fingers to break apart the larger pieces and mixed them all together.

Next, you simply apply to your image, pressing down slightly
and covering the entire 'glue stamped' piece.

Next using a somewhat stiff brush (or scootchy foam like I used)
you simply brush off the flakes and your result is a beautifully 'gilded' image!
By mixing the 3 colors of gilding flakes together,
it gave a variation of colors on the leaf.

I die cut frames using an Impression Obsession frame set,
I once again used the Nuvo Glue Pen  and coated both frames entirely,
then sprinkled Copper Penny Glitter on the smaller frame and
Golden Wheat glitter on the larger frame.
Using Versamark embossing ink, I stamped the sentiment and 
embossed with Gold Detail embossing powder.
I hand cut the sentiment, then used the gold pen color 
from the Nuvo Marker set Ember Glow to edge around it.

Next on the hop is the very talented and lovely 'Eret'
