Tando Creative - inka gold

Where have the last few weeks gone? Joanne and I are now ending our current technique journey - really hope that you've enjoyed the trip!!

So, for the last of our pieces we're using inka gold and rub n buff...

Here is my inka gold piece:-

The base is a journalling block ( do you get the impression I like these??) The block was run thro' the bug using an embossing folder then graphite inka gold applied using a piece of cut and dry foam. Orange i/g was then swiped over the top and the edges then redefined using the graphite.  The frame in the centre is a "karen" frame, the hearts were removed and covered with lava red i/g and then glossy accents applied, the centre piece had a piece of graphics 45 paper adhered and a fragment added to add definition to the head.  The main frame was covered with lava green i/g and graphite swiped over the top.  The gorgeous little tando dragonfly was covered with orange i/g and then lava green added to the edges with metal heads being adhered to emphasise the body and head....

I first came across inka gold during a weekend residential craft course - we were taught how to apply it and having fallen in love with the versatility of it, the vibrancy and how creamy it was I bought several colours (as you can tell from the above text) and ordered several more on my return home.  For some reason, all of my pots have gone mouldy - they had been stored in a dark drawer away from any heat source, but, still, they are all covered with green spores.  Now every time I use it I have to remove the top layer across the entire pot...now, for the cost of these pots I don't feel that its very good value for money at all!!!! To be honest, only cut and dry goes into the pot and this is thrown away immediately after use.  I have tried to get replacements, but, several months on, no luck!!!
