This is by far the best tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you so much for showing a newbie like me exactly how you created all those layers and for showing which products you were using. I am so inspired by this and can't wait to start creating. You are such a gifted artist!
hi, rachel! question- do your cutndry foam pieces begin to crumble after a few uses? i bought some after seeing your video and just wanted to know if the wear is normal or if i'm using them incorrectly. thank you!
@littleglimpses Hi, Cut n' Dry eventually wears down, but not after a few uses unless you are using it on a textured surface - that would make it dissintergrate fairly quickly. The only times I've completely worn pieces out is when I'm doing a large swap, and have to ink a large number of cards / tags etc. You did buy the foam and not the felt???
@RachO113 that's what i thought!...it's ME. :) i did buy the foam. i've been cutting it into about 1 inch squares. too small maybe??? or perhaps i should be using the sides of the squares rather than the middles. i'm only working on tags for a mini book. ugh. would you mind explaining the way you handle the foam, please!?! help!
@littleglimpses Err, I dunno, I kind of just sponge it on without thinking about it - Probably watching me use it will give you the best idea, I suppose I go quite lightly as I like to build up colours slowly, but who knows, I never pay attention! lol Mine is also in squares about 1" so it's not the size that's an issue.
I love working with the Lumiere paints-they have such an incredible metallic shine to them. Have you ever used the Neopaque paints? I was wondering if they were similar to the Lumiere's or duller. Thank you for being so thorough on your videos,
I love watching all the layering techniques you imploy. This is great! TFS!!
As always a great project..can't wait for part 2. You continue to amaze me with your artistic talent..so much knowledge of product and style..Love, Love all your videos..Keep up the excellant work and Thanks For Sharing your Talent!!
Again, great work of art! I always get confused with Staz-on and Archival Ink, can you tell me when and why you use them at different places and times please? Thank you!
@s627y StazOn ink is a solvent based ink & permanent on most surfaces including glass, plastic etc. Archival is also a permanent ink, but only permanent on some surfaces - card, glossy card, over paint & mediums. I could have used either for this project, and ended up using both mainly for colour choice rather than properties.
Hi Rachel, Love this so far....I can't wait to see part two....Please dont ever stob doing video's like this...Im so inspired by your work and love it all. Im still looking for bees wax...hehe.. What is the difference between Archival Ink and the Staz On?
Love love love it......Can't wait to see the rest! Great video...TFS Amy
@worker4ever123 Hey Amy I think the difference between stazon and archival is that with stazon you can use it on nonporus material ie acrylic, metal,glossy paper, glass etc! Archival is great for general stamping and for images using watercolor pencils because the image wont smearsince the ink is waterproof.

Thank you for this! Nice to see the actual process! Nice techniques to think of next time I want to try something different! Thanks again for sharing-Brigitte
Thank you! Have a great day!

@laurelhill1 The Neopaques are a similar consistency to Lumiere, but are not metallic. They have been designed to show up well on dark surfaces.
