Heat Transfers to MICA



A month or so back someone asked if you could transfer images to mica. That prompted an experiment and I used my heat transfer tool to transfer a couple of ephemera images from Inka Stamps to create a card and ATC. Because of the reflection, mica is difficult to photograph. For the card, I embossed a background card with a Cuttlebug template and then sanded off the top to make the diamonds pop. I added some sticker words and buttons to complete the card.

The darling kitten on the ATC was created in the same manner, but this time I used some spray webbing for the background along with a sticker for "wonder."

REVIEW MY MESSAGE DATED JUNE 12th that was the beginning of these cards.
