**F4A335 MIX182 Gilded Christmas

Photo Details

Poster: hobbydujour

F4A335 = Christmas/holiday card

MIX182 = faux gold leaf. See Polly's creative and ingenious technique HERE. I did coat my foil partially with red acrylic to emulate the red clay bole that is sometimes used as a base for real gold leaf gilding.

Great job on your gold leafing! Your trees turned out so pretty! The added red is perfect. I love how you combined the challenges...I was even a F4A sample maker and I didn't think to combine them...oh well.

Your faux foil is stunning, Sallie, but I am also so taken with the effect those soft white brush strokes add to this elegant design!

How totally elegant, Sallie. The gold and red is beautiful, but it's the brushstrokes for the snow that keep drawing me back.
