3 coats of Kamar varnish, some UV protector and then resin or polycrylic

[@LavenderButtonsDesign]

Thanks! I’ll have to try this. This one has held up well since the ink is protected behind the glass but I also use alcohol inks and I use the kamar varnish for those!

If you mess up can you take off marker and alcohol and restart put too. Much alcohol and marker came off

Great video. You should talk louder and your music is irritating!
