I have just sprinkled the flakes on, pressed them down and rubbed with the scrubby, without the tedious process of individually placing them. It works great and saves time. I made 25 cards using one jar, and it is nearly as full as when I started.

I love how this turned out. Even though you struggled a bit with camera issues it was easy to figure out what you were doing. You did a great job explaining what you were doing. Can’t wait to try this. Thank you for sharing. Great job 👍❤️

I love this technique. I've done it occasionally. Even when I use my embossing buddy, my gilded panel is still sticky and gets worse when I use the embossing folders. Any suggestions? Thanks for sharing. Your cards are beautiful.
I do still get a bit of stick on them..I go over it with my embossing buddy and kind of ‘buff/rub’ it in. But I do still sometimes end up with them a bit tacky. I find it also helps to use the bigger pieces of gilding flake..the more of the ‘leftover bits’ I use the more tack is left. Sorry I can’t help more. 😳
Some flakes are treated to be sticky for ease of use, I found using a light spray of Artist's Fixative works great, just be sure it is very dry before you emboss The Fixative will not affect the stazon ink. This spray works great for fixing chalk & water color cards as well, cards are handled more than fine art and benefit from a bit of fixative.

The sponge part of the 'scoochie' certainly feels like a sponge brush, so it may work. The only concern I'd have is the sponge might not have enough firmness to actually push the flakes around. But it's certainly worth a try as that would be a very inexpensive alternative. Great idea! Please let me know if you do try it.
Lol! It is easy to confuse or miss hear it. The double sided adhesive tape I used is by brand name Sook-Wang. But any strong double sided adhesive will work. I hope that helps!
The finished products you showed in the beginning are beautiful! Unfortunately the video is too frustrating to keep watching. What if you were to remake the video with appropriate camera angle and height?

Hmm…is it possible your pad needs to be re-inked? Also, what color of ink did you use? Black usually works really well but other colors can ‘show’ as very light tint on the gilding flakes. It can also be a good idea to try embossing and de-bossing (the reverse side) to see both looks and see if your ink color shows more on one version or the other. Hope that helps!!
I’ve never used gesso so I can’t say for sure..but I assume it will cover everything?? As you use your ink..you will still ‘see’ the metallic color under the ink..you just tint the gilding area it touches.
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I can't change this video, however I have recently released a 'Stazon and gilding flakes...take 2 video. In that one I have made more of an effort to be in frame.

Love the cards and techniques! I absolutely can't stand the scratchy noise, had to Fast Forward to get away. I suggest you cut the sound on those parts.😢

Liked the technique but perhaps less description of everything you are doing as 10 mins in just put guilding flakes. Think good content but you could make this shorter if you want more people to watch. Thank you though x

I'll have to give that a try!
Using you finger to press down and burnish as well. Use the brush as a finishing touch to brush off residue.
Enjoyed the process and your narrative. But, so much of your demo was out of camera. Would have loved to see what you were really doing.
Sorry about that! I appreciate the feed back. I didn't even notice I was out of the shot!
Yes extremely annoying !
But still a wonderful video ❤

Love this. Difficult to see because card was low on mat.
Fabulous! So happy to give this a try!
Hope you enjoy it!
Gorgeous cards, and love the technique. I look forward to watching more of your videos! Thanks
Glad you like them!
Your cards are beautiful, thanks for sharing the techniques. Have a blessed day.
Thank you! You too!
Love this idea! I have been looking for a new idea for the gilding flakes. A piece of old mousepad will work too! Beautiful work!
Do you mean using a mouse pad as the ‘schoochie’ tool? What a great idea!! Thanks!
@@corinnenikish5662 yes, that is what I meant.
Love the cards! This looks easy enough for me to make. Thanks for sharing this cool technique.
Have fun!
What beautiful cards. Great technique. I appreciate your sharing of information on using the Stazon, using white on your "picker" tool.
You are so welcome!
Great technique. I had forgotten about using gilding flakes. I'd love to be able to see your hands as you are making. Thank you.
Thank you! Will do!

Thanks so much!
Lovely, I haven't used giulding flakes as yet, so this has opened my eyes. Thank you.❤
You're welcome! Please let me know how you make out.
This card is beautiful.
Thanks! Let me know if you try it.
I can't wait to try this technique. and thanks for explaining everything so clearly.just subscribed.😊
Thanks for subbing!
Beautiful cards, appreciate the tutorial!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great technique....thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful cards and great technique! I made my skoochie (sp) sponge the same way, wasn’t using the TH stamp cleaner anyway.
And it's a huge tool! When I cut mine up, I made 4 'scoochies' and still have some to clean my stamps with!
Hi Corinne Thanks for a great video. I did try this and WOW how good does it look!!! So another technique for my arsenal - many thanks - I love it
That's great! I'm so glad you liked it! (and got the gist of it, despite a lot of it being out of frame🤦♀️
Gorgeous technique
Thank you! 😊
Lots of great info!! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Very cool technique thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Cool thanks..just got some of that ink..thanks
You're very welcome! Have fun!!
Amazing cards. Thank you. A product list would be helpful.
Noted!
Good idea!

@@Stampinologywhat is the name of the fixative? That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing it. I’ve only ever used hair spray as a fixative.
I was wondering what the scoochie was made of! I can’t find it in the US so I will definitely try the humidifier filter and see if it works. Thanks.
Hope you like it!
Very nice. Maybe next time you could adjust camera up a bit. Instructions on how was great. Going to definitely give this a go.

The scrubby looks a bit like one of these sponge paint brushes? Would that work to do this project?
The sponge part of the 'scoochie' certainly feels like a sponge brush, so it may work. The only concern I'd have is the sponge might not have enough firmness to actually push the flakes around. But it's certainly worth a try as that would be a very inexpensive alternative. Great idea! Please let me know if you do try it.
Looking forward to playing with my flaked gilding when we see each other next
Did get to play with my gilding flakes and had lots of fun. Thanks again Corinne
thank u😊
Welcome 😊
Love the cards but suggest you adjust your work space up. This will enable the audience to see everything you do.
What is soup Wang (1.02) on transcript? I was trying understand what the two way tape product is because I couldn’t understand what you said.
Lol! It is easy to confuse or miss hear it. The double sided adhesive tape I used is by brand name Sook-Wang. But any strong double sided adhesive will work. I hope that helps!

Hi Corinne what was the brand of 6"wide double stick tape you used in this project?
It’s Sookwang and it comes in a huge roll. It’s pricey but I find I use it so much for many different techniques.
I did what you said and my stazeon wouldnt cover the card... sigh what did I do wrong
could I use geeso black to do the same thing?
Hmm…is it possible your pad needs to be re-inked? Also, what color of ink did you use? Black usually works really well but other colors can ‘show’ as very light tint on the gilding flakes.

Use more gilding flakes, it did not stay on adhesive areas.
Great tequnice but would of Bern so much better if l could see what you were doing, most of work is off screen 😢
A shame we couldn’t see what you were doing
Love the cards but I couldn't see what you were doing. Please adjust your camera.
Can’t see the paper when you are working on it. Put the camera on your project. It makes me unset when I can’t see it. It looks great.
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I can't change this video, however I have recently released a 'Stazon and gilding flakes...take 2 video. In that one I have made more of an effort to be in frame.
Could you please zoom or adjust the camera? I could only see half of your demo!

Guess what!!? Your mat and working area are OFF SCREEN!!! Please move the mat up or the camera DOWN!! Thx!!! Kim!!!
