Fun with Glossy Accents/ Tip for intricate metal dies

Ladies,

Here is a sample of some things we've done with the Glossy Accents.  The butterflies and "Happy Everything" card front were all just printed from the internet on my computer.   You can't really tell in the photo, but the glossy accents makes the colors more vibrant, and also gives an epoxy, glossy finish for a nice touch.  The glossy accents is easy to apply, won't run & dries clear.  You just squeeze it out and "color" over the top of your image, stamp, photo, etc.  The little orange rose in the upper right corner, to the left of the card, was made with paper, and I coated it with the Glossy Accents as well.  It really looks like a lil' porcelain rose!  Cute!  We have the displays in the store for you to look at.  

Also, got a great tip from one of my customers, Barb Gilliam.  She says if you put waxed paper over your intricate metal dies first, and THEN put the paper you want to cut on top of the waxed paper, you won't have any little stuck pieces of paper left in the die!  I'm going to run out and get some for the store!
