I loved doing these projects for Cardmaking and Papercraft. I think it could be my favourite commission yet. The brief was to make Christmas gifts using the technique of gold leafing. I've not really used gold leaf before but I'm now a complete convert. It's super easy to use and gives a luxurious effect.
I always get a buzz when my projects make the front cover of a magazine.
Here's the notebook and matching bookmark which would make a great Christmas gift and as such I'm entering it into the challenge at:
Moxie Fab World - Holiday Gifting
The step by step was on the frame. This one I'm entering into the challenge at:
Moxie Fab World - home decor
To finish off the set I made a matching greeting card. This one I'm entering into the challenge at:
The Shabby Tea Room - pearls and pastels
The Crafty Pad - Christmas sparkle
Moxie Fab World - Jolly Holiday Greetings
Supplies used:
Frame - IKEA
Patterned paper - Prima
Die cuts - Slice Mistletoe and Vintage Findings
Gold leaf
Easy metal size primer
Quickie glue pen
Pink paint
For a detailed "how to", you'll need to get your crafty little hands on issue 84 of Cardmaking & Papercrafting
