Hi everyone, it's time for our Group of Seven Cardmakers technique for this April. This month we're playing with our Gilding Flakes and applying them to Acetate.
The video below shows you how to use the Gilding flakes on Acetate.

Gilding Flakes on Acetate! by Meerkat Makes by L (9:58)
For my cards I took some craft glue and spread it out on my craft mat. I picked up the glue with piece of foam and pounced it onto my rubber stamps. Be careful in that you need to put your stamps in water immediately after stamping on the acetate. I left one of my stamps a little too long so removing the glue took a little effort.
Card 1 -Deep Red Church and street lamp, Janes Doodles Sentiment.
I used Simon Says thin frame die to outline the image,
Card 2- AAL and Create Fibonacci background stamp, IO Seth Apter - Solar System. The acetate was layered over a background from my stash, it will eventually be a masculine birthday card.
Card - 3 Art Specially Hare stamp, Simon Says Stamp thin frame die, I think this is my favourite of the all the cards.
This was a fun technique but as usual there's a big clean up at the end, we hope you give it a go.
