What a beautiful idea! I just bought some gold leaf wondering what I was going to do with it, well, now I know. And that tape is going to be used somehow! Thank you for sharing.
I'm in love with the crackle effect!!! and OMG the last pull with pink is amazing! This is a great video and tips for cleanup! I have the sheets, so what if I put one into a baggie and shredded it to make flakes? Just wondering where did you get that very large craft mat? Mine are too small and I have to use 2 to barely cover my workspace. BTW I love the 2 of you bantering in this video...very energetic and inspiring you are 😄
Awe thanks so much for the positive feedback Julie, I really appreciate that. Yes, the whole effect was really very cool. You probably could shred up the sheets, give it a try. The craft mat is sold by the FOOT and you can order it to cover your entire table, that's what we did. Nonstick Table Covering: shrsl.com/23tux
Did a few experiments with a 5x4 gel plate. Baby oil added a wavy effect-maybe I used too much! Liked it! I used this exact same product. I am finding that some of the foil bits are oxidizing, leaving dark marks on the print I can correct this, but is it air getting in the bag? I would like to avoid this as I really like the look, especially for collage. Thanks for all your great videos!
I am not sure why one would add baby oil? Someone commented about that but we did not do that in this video. I am not sure what the desired effect of that was? Is it the baby oil that is tarnishing the metal leaf?
@@ElizabethStHilaire Baby oil was used on the first print to ease removal of flakes. Was not really needed.This was posted in the “comments” section. Has nothing to do with the oxidation that appeared later on. Maybe Speedball will have an answer!
@@lindalacampagne5436 the metallic product needs to be sealed with a proprietary sealer to prevent tarnishing. And I would not incorporate baby oil into this process. We did not, anyway.
@@ElizabethStHilaireWhat is the sealer? I see where some of the flakes I have on my pulls are tarnishing. These never were touched by baby oil. I am contacting Speedball re: flakes tarnishing in the bag! I’ll keep you informed.
the clean up tape could look nice on package wrap for a present.
It might but as it cleans up it looses its tack.
I have did ‘this on the gel plate, I found if you put a very thin layer of baby oil on the plate the all the leaf comes off when you do a pull
And regular mineral oil doesn’t smell as strong as baby oil
OK, I need those flakes in my life that are multicolored! A few of them look like the patina of copper or pewter.
They really do! It’s all different patina mixed in with the flakes!
I love hearing the reasons for your decisions, e.g. why you chose the blue to pick up the pewter. So helpful to hear you think out loud.
@@muskadobbit thank you very much! I tried to do that so that the Contant is more informative.
Never thought to use a stencil with metal leaf. Great idea and video! Thank you.

My favourite stencil of this collection “Lovely Leaves”

Great video, but I live in Europe (Spain). Where can I get your stencils here in Europe, please?
Sadly you cannot get them in the EU due to VAT
Question when you use this as collage with mat medium doesn't it still the metal leaf?
I do not use matte medium. I use gloss.
When you use this as collage with gel medium doesn't it dull it?
I only use gloss gel.
