Cathy chose Gilding Flakes for her theme and we hope that you can come along and give this technique a go - my Gilding Flakes were gathering dust in a drawer until this month!
I used the same stencil for this card as I did for my first one but instead used black card as the base.(My first one is HERE)I wanted a card which would be OK for a bloke - (hate đŸ˜–doing man cards) hence the black and silver colour scheme.
I simply used some circle dies to cut out my gilded piece and a wavy die so I could insert the piece of silver card which has a matt finish rather than a mirri one.
Using the same stencil on different coloured card gave a completely different finish and although it was difficult to capture the shine on the circles but happy with the finished piece!
There's some video links over on the challenge blog - so dust off the flake jars and join Guest Designer Mac and the rest of our really talented team and upload a make into the gallery!

Great layout here with the circles floating across the curvy section.
Such a good idea to cut circles from your panel and I love the silver splash across the card. Well done for capturing the shine in your photo xx
What a great design and some really effective colours. Have loads of mens coming up and I haven't got a clue what to do, may have t search for some digits.

Hi Viv
Loving the black background for your gilding flakes .. .. it makes them look all the more vibrant!
Great card for men or women actually Viv because I would definitely put that on my mantelpiece with the "special cards".
Love Jules xx
What a brilliant card Viv. Love the wavy dues and those super shimmery circles.
Have a good day mate xxx
A wonderful, classy masculine card, Viv! Love how the gilding flakes show on the black cardstock!
What a fun design with your curvy waves and layered circles Viv! love the bit of color in with the silver gilding flakes - a wonderful card for male or female! xx
Great design Viv, the gilding flakes look so different on the black base, so dramatic! Cathy x
The gilding flakes really pop against the black card :) the perfect masculine card.
Wow what a stunner Viv. The flakes against the black look fabulous and the matt shimmer from the silver is perfect. One stunning masculine card x.
Wow the gilding flakes look fantastic, makes a fun design.

Very creative and artsy card. Perfect for anyone! Love how this stencil looks completely different using it with black card stock. I had to go back and take a look at your first card because it was so different I didn't realize you used the same stencil. LOVE that silver mat insert. Awesome card my friend! xx
What a great design this card is. A perfect masculine card but could be for anyone. Beautiful shine and the stencil is sure versatile.
This looks so cool ..... I love the different sized circles, and those gilding flakes look fabulous on the black cardstock xx
This circular design works beautifully Viv and the gilding flakes look very pretty against the black card, and the wave of silver across the card and the silver embossed sentiment tie the whole thing together perfectly. x
Great metallic effect, these circles remind me of disco balls. Definitely a design fit for a man, or woman for that matter. I do love cards that works for either gender.
