Next step is to insert your photo silhouette. Printing on the Special Photo Paper for Resin means you won't have to seal your photos before embedding them in resin. Since we are working upside-down in these projects and can't see if there is air trapped under our photos, I recommend putting a piece of clear packing tape on the front of the photo before cutting it out. This creates a slippery surface that lets bubbles squish out around the edges more easily. You'll see this in the video above.
Let that layer set up, then pour another layer a bit thicker. Drip your chosen colors of alcohol ink into the resin, followed by white alcohol ink which causes them to sink.
Here's what it'll look like from the back as the colors drop and move.
