Last month when I was at the Outer Banks, NC Retreat, my friend Dale shared a video on gold 'leafing' or 'gilding' that really intrigued me especially after she clued me in to getting the products from the DOLLAR TREE!
I've linked the video at the bottom for you also.
So here's my completed card and my take on this process.
The products you need to purchase are the gold, silver and bronze jars of 'flakes' from the Dollar Tree. These are $3 jars and are found on the row that has the higher price items, usually around the center of the stores.
Thank you for stopping by today to view my
blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and
to visit my site - "Not
Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my
cards.
