Group of Seven Cardmakers - AI's and Gilding Flakes


Hi everyone it's time for the Group of Seven Cardmakers monthly technique and this moth we have Alcohol inks and Gilding flakes.

The instructions are contained in the videos below
Videos:
Alcohol Inks + Gilding Flakes by Neat and Tangled (11:03)

For my cards I used Yupo and  Graffix White Duralar, I do love how the Alcohol float around the surface when you add Isopropyl alcohol. 
It took me a while to create some good inky edges for the gilding flakes to stick to but I got there in the end. I think both Yupo and Duralar worked the same, so now I have another use for my Duralar.
