It would be hard to pick a favorite. They are lovely. I have never used building flakes, but I will now. I enjoyed this video. You have a new subscriber.

Loved the first card the way the butterfly really was the star of the show. Great technique, thank you

[faigie]

This technique is a game changer! I don’t have to rely on gold cardstock for gold embellishments anymore, and these are way more interesting with the variegated colors!

[deannaberman]

They are all beautiful and I couldn't pick a the designs and ideas for using gilding flakes! Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

[judevivier]

Wonderful inspiration!! Love your ideas with gilding flakes.

I had not thought to use foiling flakes and embossing folders together. I will definitely be trying this out. And much as I liked the foiled butterflies, the partial foiling of the embossing with the words was the standout for me. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I look forward to seeing what you do next.

thank you for sharing your gilded techniques! I love the background one the best but they are all great.

[andrealavigne]

Love the effects you got with the different embossing folders + gilding flakes. I'll definitely have to keep this in mind. In fact, I have a card to make that this technique might be perfect on. Thank you for sharing. Take care, & have a wonderful day! :)

[cindyrobinson]

These are fabulous, especially with the blend of different color flakes. I really like the copper.

[susanbredehoft]

These are beautiful! What a smart idea to use gilding flakes in your embossing folders. I will definitely try this.

[julietbrammer]

I love that technique, especially when you added the powders. I can imagine it also being very effective with silver gilding flakes and blue/violet powders. Can't wait to give it a go.

All are smashing but the last is my fave😁
