In case you are conversant in a few of my work then you’ll perceive how including a little bit of gilding to my mission isn’t uncommon for me! To problem myself, I assumed it will be enjoyable to make use of gold leafing, which isn’t a provide I sometimes use.

I started by including some paint to a set of hardboard tags. These will function the back and front covers of my Tag Guide. I hoped to attain a extra classic look so I used a dry brush and didn’t cowl the complete floor with the PaperArtsy Fresco End paint in Sweet Floss.
After permitting the PaperArtsy Grunge Paste stencilling to dry, I added one other layer of paint.
So as to add the gold leaf, I realigned the stencil on the quilt and pounced steel leaf adhesive via the design within the areas I wished so as to add the gold leaf. I then eliminated the stencil advert positioned the sheet of gold leaf onto the adhesive, creating the sample design.
I altered a cupid that I had fussy lower from some outdated scrapbook paper. The garment was painted with PaperArtsy Fresco End Pink Lipstick. I then blended the Pink Lipstick and Sweet Floss paint colors collectively to create some gradients for the main points.
I warmth embossed “My Coronary heart” from the stamp set onto a small tag painted in Fresco End Pink Lipstick with dry brushed Sweet Floss and clipped it to the sting of the tag.
For the specialty paper inside each the back and front covers, I used the script stamp from the set and randomly stamped with embossing ink, then I warmth embossed with gold powder.
I created completely different tags for contained in the ebook utilizing varied stamps from the set. By chopping out a few of the hearts and including a transparent acetate again, I used to be capable of create openings to indicate off parts of the designs from the subsequent tag.
Every tag has open areas the place I can compose love notes.
I blended the Fresco End paints to create completely different pink hues after which layered the bottom with stencilling to create lovely patterns to construct upon.
