I have guilding flakes from years ago, and today I decided to use some. ( they do make a mess) I first embossed the eggs and then put them on doubled sided adhesive paper. Then added the guilding flakes and burnished them. The Eggs were then taped to the black paper. Guess the flakes are still good! Added the strips of gold after attaching the black paper to the shimmer gold. This has to be a wow factor! TFL

The gilding on your eggs is definitely a WOW factor. I love how the simplicity of the design makes them the focal point. Thanks for playing along with my challenge. I hope you have a blessed day.

Such elegant Easter eggs! I have some of the gilded flake (from years ago) and I need to get it out and see if it's still good...because your card sure makes a wonderful impact. I can imagine how gorgeous it is IRL!

Beautiful, Kathy. You make wonderful cards with that stamp.
Laughing at the mess gilding flakes - oh my goodness yes, I scarcely dare breathe. I still remember the time I couldn't help myself from sneezing. But aren't they beautiful!

Your gilded eggs are really stunning! They remind me of Faberge eggs which I have admired for years. Your navy-blue bg really showcases these beautiful eggs perfectly! ~Karen.
