CAS Stencil April 2020 Challenge

Welcome to a new challenge hosted by Cathy!

Message from Cathy
Hi everyone, gilding flakes come in a gorgeous array of colours and can really add shimmer and shine! You can apply them with double sided adhesive tape, tacky when dry gel or embossing powder, or glue that is tacky when dry. Just remember to keep fans off and no heavy breathing!
