HLS CAS November Challenge - Gilding

The challenge at Happy Little Stampers CAS this time is 
GILDING
For my example, I stamped the HLS butterfly (I love this one) in Versamark and added WOW Bonding powder. I melted this by heating from underneath and when tacky added Gilding Flakes, pressing them down firmly and then burnishing with a smoochy pad. I don't really know what the pad is called but it's a bit like a nylon pan scrub.
The sentiment is from a die from Penny Black.


PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CARDS ARE CAS.
THANK YOU!


DEFINITION:

gild·ing
ˈɡildiNG/
noun
  1. the process of applying gold leaf or gold paint.
    • the material used in, or the surface produced by applying gold leaf or gold paint.


Suggestions:  use gold on all or part of a card base or embellishment (gold embossing powder, gold metallic pen, gold paint, gold mica powders, Inka gold wax paste, liquid gold pearls, gold shimmer mist, gilding flakes)
This card was made using the remainder of the gilded card, with the addition of the die-cut sentiment.
There are so many different ways of achieving a gilded effect so do check out the other DT members for lots of ideas and inspiration and join in the fun!
