For the background, I used the technique in this video: [url= Gilding Flakes by Technique Junkies[/url].
After adhering gilding flakes to two 5.5x4.25" pieces pieces of cs covered in double sided tape, I tried to run them through the embossing folder together back to back like in the video but found it was too tight for my Cuttlebug so had to run them one at a time - one to get the debossed impression, one to get the embossed impression.
I then tried to rub my Staz-On black pad over it but discovered it had dried out. So used Staz-On Ganache ink instead and got a nice rich brown that went well with the gilding flakes I'd used. I gently rubbed it over all of the raised parts on my two panels.
I used the debossed piece as a background for this card as the colours really made me think of autumn leaves.
I die cut a bare branched tree out of cream cs thinking it would look good mounted directly on the gilding flakes panel but didn't like that so mounted it on a piece of copper shimmer cs. I trimmed the gilding flakes piece down a bit so that it could be bordered by the copper shimmer card base and added a cream embossed sentiment on brown cs.
