Antiquing Gilding Flakes

By on October 12, 2023 in Christmas, Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have another card to share in my Halloween Card Series: Antiquing Gilding Flakes. I’m adding a cute (and spooky) ghost to a Thorny Frame Die so the ghost looks like it’s coming right out of that frame.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

When I saw that Thorny Frame Die I just knew I had to have it. I love it! I wanted to create this card with the ghost coming right out of that frame (how spooky is that)?!?

I’m using Gilding Flakes today and then creating a more antiqued look. This is a fun technique!

I created another card with this same technique using Gold Gilding Flakes and the new Scrooge stamp set from Whimsy:

You can see I only added the gilding flakes in small sections, and on the berries. See the video to see just how I created the gilding and then the antiqued look on those frames!

Hello again! I’m up on the Hedgehog Hollow blog today (here) to show you my favorite ways to Use Gilding Flakes.


Here’s my card I’m sharing with that Geometric Lion. When I saw him, I just knew he needed a golden mane!

When you are using Gilding Flakes, make sure you don’t have a fan on, OR you don’t sneeze, OR you don’t breathe! LOL….those lightweight little flakes will travel!


Watch my video below or on YouTube:




Here’s a little close up of that lion. I added some Glossy Accents to his nose to make it shine!

These gilding flakes are so fun to use. Have you tried them? All the gold on this card is made with Gilding Flakes! Isn’t it interesting to see the different textures on the background, the letters, and the lion’s mane?


I just cannot wait to try my favorite technique I shared in the video (hint: it’s the last one that involves water…yes! WATER!)


I hope you enjoyed this project today. Be sure to watch the video for more ideas and tricks on gilding flakes! Thanks for stopping by.


I’m taking a card photography class and here are some of my practice shots with my new camera. The background is darker than I’m used to and I have some learning to do still, but what do you think so far?
