I've had this beautiful ornament stamp for a couple of years but only just used it for the first time.
It was designed by SCS's own Dina Kowal (aka Dini)! Isn't it beautiful?
You'd think I'd try it out first with ink, but no, I went with the trickier technique of glue and gilding flakes. And with guidance from Loll Thompson, it worked!
I sponged (using cut and dry foam) some Cosmic Shimmer glue on my stamp, getting a good even coating, then stamped on mixed media cs. I immediately cleaned the stamp with some soapy water and a toothbrush. By the time I'd done that, the glue was tacky enough for the gilding flakes - added them, pushed them into the glue with my fingers, brushed off the excess, and then burnished with a piece of Tim Holtz Rub-It Scrub-It.
I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment in copper, trimmed the panel down, and popped it up on fun foam on a copper cardbase.
If you want to see a close-up of all the gorgeous colours in the gilding flakes, head over to my blog post.

Oh my, this card is just gorgeous! I love your non-ink use of this stamp--it turned out just perfect! And the sentiment is also just perfect for the image! Wonderful!
