Glossy Accents
Glossy Accents or Diamond Glaze
Submitted by AskMandy on October 8, 2008 - 17:22.Are Glossy Accents and Diamond Glaze the same thing? Is there a way to stop the Glossy Accents cracking/crazing inside the glaze when you make larger accents?
They are very similar - Glossy Accents is a lot quicker to dry so is really the crafters choice of 3D glace I think. if you don't want cracks then you need to ensure you don't pout it on too thickly.
Does Glossy Accent Resist?
Submitted by AskMandy on October 8, 2008 - 16:25.Could Glossy Accents be used in a resist technique much the same as embossing with clear powder? I love the resist technique and using this product would save the mess of using the embossing powder. I wonder though if the product would resist the ink or possibly smudge when rubbed?
Simple answer to this is yes - wait for the glue to be completely dry (an hour and you will be fine) and then go about your resisting!

The number 2 is grungeboard highlighted with a stamp pad. 'Scrap' is in felt, beading across the bottom. Leftover chipbard from the kit coloured with an inkpad stamped on with acrylic stamps and covered in glossy accents.

I'd never used Glossy Accents before I got this kit, but I'm hooked now! The title was cut with the cricut, then I used Glossy Accents to give a 3D effect. The COOL was coated with microbeads, then another layer of Glossy Accents to finish it. Glossy Accents was also used to create the fake button, and as a general glue - it seems to stick anything to anything! Brilliant product. I used a Crop-a-Dile to add eyelets to the photo frame which were then laced with a length of cord.

This layout shows me and my new Scrap Pal Deborah who lives in Canada.
The colour scheme is monochrome, using Coredinations cardstock which is torn, crumpled and sanded; the acetate frame and vinyl letters are coloured with alcohol inks; the sea is highlighted with beading, stitching and swirl stamps; the fish are inked grungeboard; the photo corner was made with a fragment; glossy accents have been used on the lower part of the title.
I think that makes 9 techniques - PHEW!!!
