Gilding Attempt

Hello my crafty pals, having felt a bit guilty about not using my gilding flakes which I have had since the first time around I was surprised to find my Zig pen still worked a treat. Ok this is only a tiny bit of gilding but it is a start and it wasn't as messy as I expected – lol. Not sure which way up this embossing folder should have been but it wasn’t quite the effect I expected. I do like the folder as it gives a flat panel in the centre to place elements on. Hope you all have a fun crafty day and thank you for visiting.This card doesn't feel finished so might still end up being cut up as a topper or just bits. 
Paper and card - card blank is a 5x7 whitish,
paper from my special card/paper box
and my die cut from co-ordination card,

    That's lovely Flora. Very understated but gorgeous.

    If you don't think it's finished (and it does look fine the way it is) chuck some pearls at it. That's what I always do ;)

    I think the gilded reindeer looks fabulous, and your embossed paper is so elegant. I don't think this card needs much more, I like its clean and simple look, but if you feel you need to add something more, I would suggest to just add a line or something to "ground" the reindeer.
