Dollar Store Inserts

Dollar Store Inserts

I just got these inserts out of their molds. I used a pinch of Sparkle Plenty from Mad Micas, but the rest is dollar store junk.

I bought several dollar store items awhile back, including a few bags of reflective confetti. I added about a 1/4 cup of silver confetti to 180ml of resin for these inserts. I have to let the molds sit to let air escape a bit longer than for other materials, and I do about three passes with a heat gun at different times while they're waiting to go in the pressure pot. When I wait that long, I need to use more pressure to put the lids on, but they're inserts, so minor flaws really don't matter.

Inking Color Recommendations

I just did a couple of these inserts in shell molds, and I have a couple of sets on the way. I'm trying to decide on what color will best go with black and gold. I like seeing others' ideas. Any thoughts?

Sparkle Set

This set is a color variation on a cellophane set I did awhile back. I love how much they dance in the light. Any thoughts on color for numbers?

1st Washi Tape Set

Any thoughts on colors for inking?

These just came out of the shell molds. This is my first washi tape set. I used a clear spray can to set the tape before going into the molds. I had a couple of corners peel back anyway, and the clear coat darkened the colors a bit. I am open to any advice on a way to set the tape or stickers.
