If you’re looking for a simple, quick and effective way to add a shine to your papercraft projects then look no further! Gilding flakes are a fantastic way to add a metallic shimmer to any craft and when used with the Spectrum Noir Gilding Flakes Toolkit and your favourite clear stamp, you can create a beautiful shimmering design in seconds. 

Follow our tutorial below to create your own.


You will need:

1pc Black Multi-Purpose Card
Spectrum Noir Gilding Flakes
----

    Creating your image

    1. Set up your workstation with a piece of black multi-purpose card, your Rock-a-Block and your clear stamp.

    2. Stick your stamp of choice to your Rock-a-Block, with the flat side against the stamping block, leaving the raised side up.

    3. Take your Gilding Flakes Toolkit and apply the liquid glue to the dry inkpad. Dab this over the raised pattern of your stamp until it is evenly covered. 

    4. Using your Rock-a-Block, carefully stamp your image onto your black card, leaving behind a crisp clear glue design. 

    5. Take your Gilding Flakes and spread these evenly over the entire glue design. With the sponge included in your toolkit, lightly wipe away any excess flakes until you’re left with a beautiful shimmery stamped image!
