Transform a clean card design with gilded gold leafing into a beautiful work of art from the heart in 5 steps or less!

You’ve seen gold accents on pieces of art. Frames sometimes have gold decoration, and sometimes the gold is right in a painting itself. This is the art of gilding, or applying a thin leaf of gold. It’s been used in art for centuries.

Today I’ve taken a simple design with a fun fold and applied gold leaf. This makes a beautiful card to express gratitude. The BEST thing is gilding can be done in 5 steps or LESS!
