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!
