Thanks for the reminder about using the texture plates. I have some and have never used them. Now I will. :D

This tutorial is awesome! I think it deserves a bump. For people that have done this, is it preferable to use aloe vera gel or a gel medium bought at an art store? Anyone else have pictures they want to share?
