I wanted to do a comparison from using Costco Glossy Photo Paper and Yupo Paper for alcohol ink backgrounds. There is minimal difference in the outcome and the cost far out weights the slight difference. The rectangle background is Yupo Paper and the flower was cut from Costo Photo. Both used the same colors of alcohol inks. My daughter-in-law's favorite color is burgundy and I think she is going to love this elegant card.

Wow, Karen, this is gorgeous! Wish I had known about this "review" you did before giving away a ton of glossy photo paper. I could have given it to someone to use with alcohol inks. Well, this is GORGEOUS, and I love how you've used this die. I have it and need to be inspired by it. Love the richness of your colors and the great die! Hugs!
