I started by grabbing the Hawaiian Shirt Stencil and my Lime Chroma Glaze. I also grabbed my Stamp and Stick mat and adhered my A2 panel of Not your mama‘s cardstock and added it and the stencil to my mat. I very carefully used a spatula to swipe my chroma glaze onto the stencil. Once I was happy, I removed the stencil, set the panel away to let it dry. I gave it a couple hours, mostly because I was busy with other things.

When I came back, the glaze was completely dry, but the lovely thing about gilded flakes is they love to stick to all the things (and fly away with any breath!). These flakes can be a challenge to work with, BUT are absolutely worth it. I very carefully began to press and rub the flakes randomly around the glaze. Rubbing the flakes really helped set them. When I was happy with the placement, I added foam tape to the back of the panel and then added it to my card base.

I grabbed some cardstock and the congrats sentiment and embossed it with Gilded embossing powder and then fussy cut it and the shadow backing out. I added some foam tape and placed it on the panel and finished it with gold confetti!
