I am in love with metal at the moment!! great for alcohol inks.

"tensecondsstudio" is the brand of metal that I like to use. It is so soft and lovely to work with. Great for embossing through the cuttlebug, it can be punched using regular punches, and can be cut with scissors or a papertrimmer. You can even cover chipboard with it!
The tutorials at
www.tensecondsstudio.com are hilarious. It is a mother and daughter duo, and they do a tutorial each week.
