I got some gilding flakes and really wanted to try this stamp with them - it was my first time using the stamp and one of my first goes with the flakes so this is the third tree I tried and the best of the lot! I also gilded the edges of the tree layer. Spent ages trying to decide the best colour to mat behind it - went with a pale gold in the end but if I'd more time, I'd probably gild the mat too.

Love this image and it does work well for the gilding technique. I don't have gilding flakes, but you've inspired me to do something similar with this tree. TFS

This is so pretty Di. I have never even thought to use gilding flakes with a stamp - that's a great idea and really love the effect on the tree. Popped your card into my favourites :-) You have such wonderful and inspiring ideas for your cards Di. TFS!
