• For this card, I used Wow Special Bonding Embossing Powder.  Then I melted it with a heat gun and I pressed Gold Gilding Flakes onto it. 
• I brushed the excess and heat again to set.
• Note: heat up again and as you go to keep the embossing powder sticky.
• After applying the gilding Flakes,  I used a Nuvo Precision Brushes to apply distress ink at the background.  I used Fired Brick, then I applied Aged Mahogany

This card was made using fine different kinds of gold embossing powders: fine and thick grain.

I used Nuvo Fine Detail embossing powder and  Heat It Up Gold embossing powder, this last one is a very old embossing powder I have in my stash since forever. 

Nuvo Fine Detail provides a smooth look and the other powder produces a lot more texture. 

Side Folding Card

I also wanted to use distress inks.

• So I first stamped the whole crown using Fired Brick, then I applied Aged Mahogany over the edges of the stamp to create darker edges and then to darken the edges a lot more I used Black Sooth Ink.
• I stamped the banner using Simon Says Stamp Black Ink.
