These are all great designs, Christine! I especially love the gilded snowflakes behind the ice skate! I still have a couple of small pieces from my panel, so you've given me some ideas for them! Thank you! See you next month! Hugs, Darnell

It's amazing how many different mixes of gilding flakes they have - yours is so pretty with the silver and bits of red Christine! Love the snowflake background with your sweet ice skate and the subtle stenciling behind your pretty butterfly! The tiny cardinal is adorable on your tag card too! Such a fun technique this month!

Three wonderful CAS looks using this pretty gilding flake and embossing folder technique Christine. I love the skate over the snowflake background and the black ink highlights the pattern beautifully, then the gorgeous butterfly over the sofly stencilled background, and finally the sweet little tag using another piece the same as that on the first snowflake card, and love the added bright red cardinal. x

You got such smooth inking on your gilded embossing, Christine! I love the contrast and smooth inking! The skates look awesome on the background and the little tag is adorable, but that butterfly made my jaw drop!

Fabulous cards, Christine! I love the first one especially as the skate is the perfect topper for the snowy gilding flakes background. Lovely subtle stencilling on the background for the butterfly card. And such a great way to use a tiny leftover piece on the third card.

3 gorgeous cards using that fun technique. I LOVE that skate die! What a beautiful effect using black ink after leafing. The tiny cardinal tag is super and the thinking of you card is beautifully designed. All of these are so well done!

All beautiful. Great results with this cool technique. My favourite is the first one with the skates.

You got terrific results with the black ink. The touch of red in the flakes along with the gold and silver is so pretty. It made a lovely butterfly too and the tag is great. Thanks for the great technique.

These are all gorgeous, using the embossed gilding flake background, Christine! I love the variety in the use of the gilding flake background, and the aged effect of the swiped black ink!
