Wow aren't you the lucky one! I love using glossy paper for polished stone backgrounds...check the turorials. It also makes great rainbow brayer backgrounds....use a rainbow pad and a solid brayer...try spritzing with rubbing alchohol for interesting effects....chalk inks are great on glossy card stock too...really shows off the chalk part. Just keep playing! Also, embossing a line drawing stamp and then coloring with markers is good too.

Hope this gives you a few ideas to play with! Have fun!

I use these techniques alot for my glossy paper. I also use the glossy paper when I want that shinier backround or for stamped images.You are so lucky to have so much of it!!!

Try rubbing pigment pads directly on it (the color box petal points are perfect for this) and then rubbing the colors around with a kleenex- they really slide around nicely on the glossy

Glossy paper is the only way to go if you use alchohol inks.. in any way.. be it for a background, or to stamp with.
