It's already half way through the month and that means
a start of a new challenge at the
Dies R Us challenge blog!
Our theme is 'Leaves'.
I went with one of my favorite newly released dies in August from
Tutti Designs called
Tutti Designs Leaves Background.
I had been 'itching' to use gilding flakes on this die for a fall card
thinking it would make for a beautiful card.
It was pretty easy (though a bit messy as gilding flakes are)
but well worth the effort I think!
I simply cut the die from black card stock,
then applied Nuvo Glue Pen all over the die cut.
This glue is a 'tacky' glue that you let sit for a few minutes after applying
so it gets real sticky. (A MUST HAVE for these flakes)
Then you just simply add your flakes,
and use a stiff brush/sponge to get the excess off.
I cut a black strip of card stock for the
Tutti Designs Word Set - Celebrate to sit on.
I used Versamark on the die cut,
then applied Hit The Beach embossing powder and heat set.
This is another of those embossing powders I love so much
that has the added glitter to it...it embosses with a pretty sparkle....
kind of like magic!
Make sure and head on over to the Dies R Us challenge blog
to see what my teamies have created just for you!!
Entering the following challenges:
Mod Squad .... Fall Fest
4 Crafty Chicks .... Fall
Aud Sentiments .... Use a Die Cut + a Sentiment
DL. Art .... Fall Colors
Moving Along With The Times .... Autumn~Fall
