How To Stencil Using Gilding Flakes
In this fantastic video, Jeanette shows you how to create a metallic geometric pattern using a stencil from her stash and gilding flakes! This technique is so quick and easy and leaves you with a gorgeous gilded effect that looks professionally made! Mask areas of your cardstock whilst stencilling to create a cross-section, or repeat the pattern to create a full background - there are so many options! Take this design further by playing with ink application or die-cut your design into toppers and layer to your heart's content!
To achieve this effect, make sure you have the correct Cosmic Shimmer Flake & Glitter Glue, it dries tacky to enable you to adhere the flake to. If you ever get stuck with what glue to use, check out our ultimate guide to adhesives here!
