Two more. I tried stamping with the sizing that came with the gold leading kit. The pink water colored flower is where I tried to stamp off the excess. I used Twinkling H2O in two colors and tried to stamp the image over it for the outline. Didn't work well - but well-enough. The other is the look I was going for but I dunno. It still needs something. Maybe.
Anyone else going to give this a try? I have an idea of using a background stamp with gold and/or silver embossing and just a big die cut centered. Not 100% sure yet.

Wow, I have no idea what you are talking about with sizing and leading kit, Pam, but the cards are gorgeous and very arty.

That's cause I can't type. It's gold LeaFing. The sizing is a very watery glue that stays tacky. I think you're supposed to paint it on a surface and then apppy the gold leaf sheets. Because I can't find my sticky embossing powder, that was the only idea I could come up with without shopping.

Thanks, Pam, for clarifying. I wonder if Tack it Over and Over Again would work with metal flakes.

I would imagine so. You just need an appropriate adhesive for your project. The striped card I made - pink tape but any double sided tape would have worked.

Very nice, Pam. It's on my todo list, but I'm falling woefully behind. Doing the market is taking a lot of my time, but I'm having fun, so I guess that's the trade off. Maybe I'll be playing mega catch-up this fall.
