I'm very impressed with this kit! It is absolutely beautiful! The quality is very high. I'm not sure if I like the twist pen yet. I tried the white tacky stuff for a little while but I find it stringy and sticks to pieces. I ended up going back to the pink tacky stuff that I'm use to using. Luckily it comes with both options!! I found the canvas not to be as sticky but it didn't cause any issue. The new perforation in the film is such a great feature! I don't need to cut it with my scissors anymore I just fold back a square and then tear it off when I'm done. I also really enjoy the trading cards! I didn't understand what it was at the beginning but using the dac vip fb group I found out you can get discounts and items by collecting these cards. It seems like you need to buy a lot of paintings (like 10+) to get a reward so I don't expect to be able to use them anytime soon. I buy roughly two diamond paintings a year. Overall very very happy with my purchase and overall buying experience!!
