I got something really neat in the mail today from Terri at Joan's Gardens. It is Creative Expressions Gilding Flakes, and it was so much fun to work with it. I used the "Calypso" flakes, which has tones of gold, copper, turquoise and orange. You can go to the video below to see how Sue Wilson teaches how to use this fun medium. Enlarge it to full screen for an even better look.
I did not use a stamp like she used, but rather just made a whole background piece covered with the gilding flakes. The sentiment stamp is from Sweet 'n' Sassy and is heat embossed with copper colored embossing powder. The candle die is Tall Taper Candle from Memory Box. The card actually looks very CAS, but there was quite a technique involved in making it. Here it is:
The luscious colors of the gilding flakes:

Romans 10:9-11
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT
Acts 13:38-39
"Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God—something the law of Moses could never do." NLT
