Lorraine's challenge...feature a sentiment

oh this really has had me thinking and looking at all my stamps...not an idea in my head till I watched Barbara Grey on C&C doing a bit of gilding flakes and I thought well you have them and never used them so I was brave and gave it a go!
I struggled a bit with the stamping...I used stazon but it didn't seem very dark any tips ladies? I cut out the centre and rubbed on gold flakes and then cut out the outer boarder and did green flakes....then a few dew drops for the berries....
Hope you are all making the most of the long weekend we are just back from a steam rally, very muddy but great fun!

    Hi Margaret, wow what a gorgeous Christmas card I love the deep, rich colours which remind me of Mulberry Wine, the sentiment is just perfect.

    Wow Margaret your card is stunning hun. The gilding is amazing. You make it look easy!!!. I love the dew drops too you have used for the holly berries. If the Stazon is black Margaret the only thing I can suggest to make it darker is to go over it with a permanent black pen (like a Millenium or Letraset pen). I know it's a hassle but these pens are really fine and great for going over those lines that do not come out or not very dark. I personally think it looks great though. Big hugs to you and hope Mum is doing good. Big hugs Clare xxx
