Tips from the show

• The golden frantage paper's marble effect with gold highlights works beautifully with metallic gilding waxes.
• You can use both gilding wax and ink pad on the same embossed design for a mixed-media look.
• Experimenting with half-and-half colour applications helps you see which finish you prefer before committing to a full card.
