Creating your image
-
Set up your workstation with a piece of black multi-purpose card, your Rock-a-Block and your clear stamp.
-
Stick your stamp of choice to your Rock-a-Block, with the flat side against the stamping block, leaving the raised side up.
-
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.
-
Using your Rock-a-Block, carefully stamp your image onto your black card, leaving behind a crisp clear glue design.
-
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!
