Where did you get the inks Grianne? From Metal clay? I’ve seen some others on Amazon but they say not to use with UV resin

[@antonialoysen4223]

hi. can you clean the cards to re-use them/ if so just a wet wipe or isopropl?

[@vanessaharling1957]

Beautiful.Where did you get your silver leaves? Thankyou

[@grainnereynolds.timestotre2632]

I made them 😊

[@lizzedwards5994]

Did u use a cutter or a mold to make the clay leaves if so which and where did u get it

[@Catwoman191919]

What is the name of the resin you used? Does it have to go under a UV light to cure?

[@grainnereynolds.timestotre2632]

It’s called crystal clear up resin and is available from Metalclay Ltd here in the U.K. it has to be cured under a U.K. light.

[@hale1106]

can you use this method with metal clay?

[@grainnereynolds.timestotre2632]

Yes, this is silver metal clay after it’s been fired

[@nathanstrong4359]

Does the resin protect the dyes in the ink from UV light when it’s cured?

[@grainnereynolds.timestotre2632]

The resin stops the inks from being rubbed off 😊

[@nathanstrong4359]

@@grainnereynolds.timestotre2632 so.... Does that mean “no” or does that mean that you have no idea?

[@grainnereynolds.timestotre2632]

I guess it may give some protection but I don’t know if the colours will fade over time. I have not had this problem with any of my pieces.
