LEAFING FLAKE GEL PLATE BACKGROUND

 So it's been a while since we've had the pleasure of getting leafing flake all over the place, so I thought I'd give my cleaner a bit of a treat by gilding my classroom with shiny, floaty stuff. (That's hubby; he's the cleaner. 😉)
Instead of the usual adhesive method, we'll use a gel plate to apply the flake, or leafing sheets, before using acrylic paint as normal to do the pull. It's certainly a different look and can only be appreciated in the flesh because of all the shiny goodness of the leafing flakes. As you can see from the samples, you can use a lot of the leafing flake, or hardly any at all. It all works well. Remember to click on the first
