Carissa’s challenge is to use the 10th anniversary material of tin or aluminium in a project.  I can’t believe I actually got out those gilding flakes again.  Not only did I open that dreaded jar, but I actually had to sort the flakes.  The only jar I have is a gold, silver and copper mix, and I only wanted the silver for this project.

Once you get by the incredible mess they make, gilding flakes are fun.  They remind me of the first time I used embossing powder or the first time I pulled a stencil from embossing paste. The results are amazing and you forget all about the mess the flakes made.
