Never be afraid to try something new. You may even discover something brilliant—look what you can do when you add some Gilded Leafing to some Balmy Blue & White 1/2″ (1.3 cm) Variegated Ribbon!

Looks difficult? It’s not!

Simply apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the ribbon using the broad tip, then press the golden flakes into the ribbon. Tip: The glue will soak through the ribbon, so (using your fingers) press flakes into both sides. You’ll need to add a few layers of flakes to achieve the effect. You will love the result!

Isn’t this a stunning and elegant technique to add to your crafting repertoire! It’s perfect for fancy, formal occasions—or maybe just to let someone know you think they’re “golden”, add some heat embossing to your card to add some more golden effect!
