    the Brilliance Gold is the best gold ever… It is stunning… It shows up very very well as apposed to other golds I have tried that are hard to see on the paper unless tilted a certain way.. The Brilliance isn’t like that.. You definitely have to try it.. I think you will love it as much as I do..

    Dye ink is probably my most used pads. I do not have many ink pads but find my favs are the ones that come in mini form.

I usually use Memento Dew Drops for stamping and coloring with Copics. and Tim Holtz Distress Inks for other creating fun.
