Still shunning the reds and pinks, I went metallic and enjoyed pulling out the Gilding Flakes.
First I applied double sided adhesive to a 6x6" (15x15cms) piece of light cardstock and die cut a central square. I keep the resulting frame for another project and die-cut the Sending Love heart (Memory Box) from the square.
I then applied the flakes over the sticky die-cut. I use a soft brush to pick up individual flakes if I need a particular colour or want a smooth finish. The sponge rubs away all excess flakes.

I stuck the foiled heart onto a piece of black Core'dinations and to frame my center piece, I embossed a piece of Gemstones Core'dinations and applied Gold accents with DecoArt Metallic Lustre.
The folder is a freebie from a magazine (old stash...)
And because metallic are so difficult to photograph, first a full frontal pic:
then the shine shot:
And a different angle...
I am so glad I thought about the flakes, I don't think I have used them much, even though they do deliver that wow factor.
