Today's Free for All challenge is "One-Word Wonder" - to have one word, and only one word, on the card. And Monday's Technique Lover's Challenge was "Rags to Riches" - to use up leftovers. And it's also going to the Addicted to CAS challenge - use the code word "Joy".
I'd been playing with gilding flakes earlier in the month so used up some little leftover pieces (made by covering cs in double sided tape, then the gilding flakes rubbed in to the tape) and die cut small ornaments out of them.
I layered them over an embossing folder, using foam tape to pop them up, and pieces of twine to hang them - because the gilding flakes had gold, silver, and copper in them, I used three different colours of twine.
For the Free for All challenge, I added the single word "Joy", heat embossed in copper.
And for the TLC challenge, I used leftover scraps of cs covered with gilding flakes, I used at least two techniques (gilding flakes, die cutting, dry embossing, and heat embossing), and I have something shiny (the gilding flakes - the ornaments are much shinier in real life).

Gorgeous! Your three amazing ornaments look fabulous with that embossed piece. Looks like they were made to go together. The single word is perfect for this card. Very nicely done for all the challenges! TFS

Very cool card! Love the way you repeated the theme of the embossed background with the die cut ornaments, even using the embossed frame as a frame for the popped up pieces. I will have to check out what gilded flakes are...new product to me and after seeing how you used it, I think I need to try it! TFS!
