Beautiful! I had plans to get up and start right in this morning but then Mom decided she needs to go get a haircut, and Mom comes first. I'll be back as I have everything that is used so I won't have to go shopping for anything!

Here are my cards for this tutorial:

I guess I didn't follow the tutorial letter for letter....did a few short-cuts. Hope it is OK, Dina. Enjoyed the challenge. Thanks.

Here's my first Falliday Fest card! Great technique!

Here is my card.

Since I have no gilding flakes or mica powders, is there an alternative? I have gold metallic paper and gold ep., but that's it. Help!

Anne, do you have die cuts? Maybe you could die cut something and use a variety of gold, silver, and or copper embossing powder on the die cut to achieve a similar effect. Just an idea.

Maybe you've got brusho or chalk powder, make up could work and for the gold or silver cutting bits of foil could work I think

Foil and metallic pastels or a rub/wax like viva decor?

MAN this is fun! I did it yesterday on my live - hoping to make into a card before Friday!

I hope this counts. I didn't make a card. I'm using this as a tag on a gift bag.

Thanks so much Dini for giving me some alternatives so I could play along!!

I tried it, and made a mess, but think it turned out okay! I only had perfect pearls, which didn't really do much after the gilding flakes, but here it is.

I have spent an hour digging for my flakes... ( I bought some one of those years it was a DTGD thing...)

So, who remembers where I hid it?

It's in your closet, Stacy!!

Mine were on my clay table in the basement... do you have a basement? lol

nope, it has to be in the duck in closet. ( I have whacked my forehead on the door jam more than once now) ( tallpeopleproblems) AND most things are in Clear boxes. ( go figure) I thought it was with the flower soft in that box, but no. :roll:

Stacy as my DH would say they are right where you left them.I 🤣🤣 I just rearrange my craft room and organize all my paper and stuff, I can't find anything, but I knew where my flakes were.😂 of all things.

Well leave it to me to pick the hardest design for this technique 😂😂 I got it done, but in my way. I did not have any of the other stuff it add to my ornament so I added glitter. Well glitter and me don't get along🤣 it is everywhere. My floor around my desk sparkles 🤣

Here it is

Messy but cool looking :p

So I caved and bought new flakes, the thing I cannot remember and do not see in the written part is, do you wait for it to dry after you do the pearls over the flakes before you do the scrub off?

Stacy, I waited till the pearls and brushos were dry to scrub off. Otherwise, the paper would get holes in if you scrubbed too early.

well, if you do it when its slightly sticky, it pulls the flakes off :mrgreen: ( ask me how I know that right?) So, I re-watched the video and I did it all backwards and it still worked out in the end

Here are my trees!

Can’t find my gilded flakes:( I know I had some! I was able to make some substitutions. Here’s my card. https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/g...0&ppuser=57731

had fun making this snowman themed card- aren't they jolly?- adding silver gilding for that glitz factor. Here's my card - snowbody better

Finally finished mine to post it! I had been staring at it for almost 2 weeks, when not hiding it under other challenges!
