You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on TH-cam and on the blog, aColorfulJourney.com
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!
I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.

Love this! A good way to use that mica I have been hoarding!

[@CarolynDube]

It felt so good to use up that stash with the rainbow!

What a sweet card!! I think the first piece looks like a mitten, or maybe I’m just cold!❤️🌈

[@CarolynDube]

How do they get arts and crafts style images on mica sheets? Anybody, help would be appreciated.

Thanks Sue!

Lovely! A couple of questions. Is mica expensive? And, could you coat the entire back of the mica with matte gel medium without the adhesive showing? Also, could you punch or die cut a thin sheet of mica? Thank you.

[@CarolynDube]

I would think the gel medium would show but haven't tried it Amy. I do know that glue stick shows a bunch. Die cutting I don't know how well it would work-my guess is simple shapes okay but more complex ones would not work but haven't tried it. Expensive? That's an individual question- definitely smaller pieces cost less than larger ones - have a link to 2 different sizes in the blog post so you can see what you think of the relative prices.

@@CarolynDube thank you so much!

Sorry but please don't use mica. children continue to slave in dangerous mines for pennies of what the industry makes for the sparkly cosmetics. Children as young as 5 make around a quarter per day mining mica.
