I decided to have a little play with various mediums and guilding flakes. Note to self, once guilding flakes have been sprinkled on image, do not exhale!!!!
This was my attempt using Mod Podge - not very good
This was my attempt using Golden matte medium - not successful at all!!
Although not perfect, I got the best results from good old PVA.
I think I probably chose the wrong stamp to try this with. A bolder one with less detail may have been better.
All the glues were painted onto a piece of cut n dry foam and applied to the stamp with the foam. You need to wash your stamp fairly quickly after you've stamped it.
I might do a little more experimenting with another stamp!!
