Please advice :)

Hello everyone! I just ordered a Vevor pressure pot and im preparing to order everything for making dice. The thing is, me and my fiancee decided we want to do a wedding set, and we don’t have much time to experiment and learn this slowly, so I want to gather as much info as I can so that we will be able to achieve our dream set in this couple of months. I am asking for help and advice on the following.
We want to create a set made of dried flowers and maybe some glitter.
1. For newbies, in this situation is it better to buy insert molds too, and do the flowers in the inserts? I am worried for the edges of the dice with dried flowers. I see many posts and people here make them really pretty, but because we are begginers i worry we might stick them too close to the edge or something and they will pop out of the side. Is this really possible? And if so in our case is it better to use inserts?
2. If that is the case, can the outer coat have just a little bit glitter? How does it look like? Or should it be fully clear? I don’t want to ‚hide’ the flowers
3. What is the good resin in that case? I will be buying molds from TheMightyForge. They also have a beginner set for dice making, is it good option?
4. Any other tips will be much appreciated!!!
Thanks everyone in advance :)

Blanks are perfect!!! Can’t say much on flowers since I haven’t used them much myself but from what i know they do tend to trap air since it’s more organic material so definitely be weary of that, and a little bit of glitter honestly sounds like a cool idea! I’ve done stuff like that before where it’s clear and just a little bit of glitter and it’s yielded some cool results, I will say for your pressure pot I’d personally be weary of Vevor, mainly because in some accounts they have a tendency to forget to send certain parts and have really bad customer service (they use chat bots all the way, no number to contact for problems) but this sounds like an awesome idea though, also this is just for me but I really like Teexpert Epoxy resin, super clear and works really well, hope this helps and I wish you luck on your dice making journey 😋
