Hi, there – Thank you SO much for this video. I think I made an error in writing to a few other artists / designers that I thought they had used the Circles & Cylinders background stamp. I now think it was the stencils – duh… the background stamp is not part of the kit. I will see if I can go back and amend my comments. I love both your cards and agree w/ you that the addition of the gold glitz glitter gel was a SUPER move!
