Today I'm sharing a card using a new-to-me tree die. I just love it!
I die-cut the tree from white card stock, coated with gilding flake glue, and then pressed on lots of Red Blaze gilding flakes. I burnished the flakes to remove the excess. LOVE the shimmer from the gilding flakes. Isn't it pretty??!!
We are excited to have Ina (Little Bits of Craft) as our Guest Designer this month. Please check out the challenge blog to see Ina's card and the cards from the rest of our Design Team. Then play along. We'd love to see you in the gallery!

I just love the color against the white -- so striking! You mf have become quite the enabler - yep, I bought Yupo paper because of YOU! :)
So incredibly pretty. Can't believe that is one color of flakes - there seem to be so many different colors. Gorgeous.
Wow, Loll, brilliant idea, if had time would do it, but hopefully come back to it later like i have with salt challenge in August, I’ve finally done that!
Thanks for sharing your inspiration!

Pretty is too mild an adjective, Lolly! This is glorious, spectacular, sensational!! I can only imagine how shimmery and warm it is in person! Hugs, Dolly
Just gorgeous Loll, you really are inspiring me to play with 'stuff' in my stash that is slightly forgotten ... like gilding flakes... it's messy stuff, but spectacular.
How simple a layout is this Loll! Boy does it pack a punch. Love the trees and how fabulous they look with gilding flakes. Love it and your little mountain with the text. So happy to be Guesting with you again this month.
my goodness this is stunning Loll, love how wonderfully CAS it is but with superb elegance x
Stunning card, Loll! I love all that shine from the gilding flakes and your new tree die is gorgeous, no wonder you love it! I also like the small size of the snow hill and how the sentiment is a perfect match to it's size! Great design. Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!
This is gorgeous! Wow, the colors in the gilding flakes is stunning. I didn't know there was a gilding flakes glue. Are there special properties in it? I will have to be on the lookout I think. The tree die is lovely and shows off the colors wonderfully. Thanks so much for sharing, Loll!!
This is stunning Loll ..... I love those trees and they look amazing covered in the gilding flakes.
I've got serious die envy ..... I've been trying to get my hands on this for ages xx

Yes, I love this! I've never seen that tree die (sounds funny... Dying trees... sorry, forester humor...) anyway, cute die, and now I'm very interested in trying the gilding flakes-- you make it look awesome! Terrific CAS card.

These Christmas trees dressed with gold flakes look stunning! I love their multicolor gloss. They look so beautiful on a white background. Creating a snowdrift with sentiment is the perfect solution. I love this card, Loll.
