They are most likely matted with Gold foiled paper, cut a tad bigger than the alcohol inked yupo.

[@cherylann9569]

Tank you very much for sharing. I am very new at using alcohol inks and the new Alloys. I have watched many videos and still can not figure out what I am doing wrong. After the piece dried the alloy ink rubbed off. Do I need to seal the work before handling?

Thank you for the video, your works are very beautiful! Tell me, please, what is the material of your golden frames? Is it printed cards or real alkohol ink work?

It is probably just matted with Gold foiled paper. A very common thing in card making to give it a frame.

Just beautiful!! Is that a regular drier? It seems pretty powerful when compared to the heat embossing ones - I don’t know if the same outcome could be achieved. I am hitting the subscribe button - you are very talented! Thanks for sharing this technique.

[@destresswithscrapbookniaga4153]

Thanks Dana. It is not an embossing gun. It’s a curling dryer brush, the brush end you can remove

[@rachellecrain3016]

Do you mind telling us the specs on the dryer? I’d like to find an equivalent. If you post the Amazon link, I’ll use you’re link especially if you’re set up to receive a omission from it. Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@destresswithscrapbookniaga4153]

Hello Jennene, it is Grafix Craft Paper, similar to Yupo. For Alcohol inks it has to be a “plastic” paper. Yupo, Grafix, some use the back of photo paper (I haven’t tried that yet) I’ll put that on my to do list!

To clarify....are you using your drier on a COOL setting, as opposed to an embossing heat gun? Thank you!

I’m curious to what blowed she is using as well

[@brucenjanmckerras7713]

She said her dryer had a cold setting

[@destresswithscrapbookniaga4153]

I change my dryer settings between cool (which has stronger air flow) but it does have a heat setting with lower air flow. I use both on hair dryer. Not the embossing tool. That’s much hotter than hair dryer.

@@dianadevlin3717 thanks for getting back to me Diana. the risk vs the cost of a respirator is a no-brainer. i'm new to this type of art and will do a full stop until i get a mask. i understand most people have the best of intent with diy videos, help the beginner and showcase their work. but i also think this comes with a responsibility. Either in the description or the audio should address PPE if there is a known risk. leaving it out implies no risk.
