Papillon from Butterflies Dragonflies
Small butterfly from Butterflies Dragonflies
Large flourish from Flourishes
Versamark Stamp Pad
Mini Brads in Brass
Bazzill Monochrom Green
Jerry Tresser's Gold Size
Ranger Felt Cut n Dry
Mica
23.5 carat transfer gold
Gilding on Mica: A small piece of the Cut n Dry felt stamp pad material was cut from the large sheet and the Gold Size was squirted over it and allowed to soak in for a few minutes. The small butterfly was stamped onto the Gold Sized stamp pad and them stamped onto a thin piece of mica and allowed to dry for a while. The transfer gold was rubbed off the release paper onto the stamped image and the excess gently rubbed off the mica. As a precaution against the gold being scratched off, I split the stamped piece of mica and put a layer of mica over the golden butterfly.
Very nice. I still haven't used my mica pieces I bought a couple years ago. One day I have to pull it out...
