Hi everyone, Jo here again. Thanks so much for popping in. Today I am going to create a beautiful “Thank You” card using the Forest Leaf stamp. I will stamp it with Versafine Claire ink and add some Clear Embossing powder. This gives such a beautiful effect and makes it easier to add some painting using watercolours. I am going to use some Mica Minerals for this; they are amazing and add so much shimmer.
A sentiment from Set 6 of the Sentiment Stickers will finish off the design, and a few little mica splats add the finishing touches.

Hello Jo, this is a very pretty card. I did it with the same materials but the Mirca Minerals didn´t "glue'" on the multivarious paper. How can I fix/glue it?

[@JoRice]

Thanks so much for watching…just wondering you may not have added enough water or mixed it properly….maybe have an experiment and try again,,,I do find the mixing part quite important…do let me know how you get on…hugs xx💚

Hi Jo. Hope you had an enjoyable Christmas. I made 3 of these cards with my mica crystals. Tel them dry in the sun through my window but I found that some of it wipes off…..what have I done wrong? It didn’t all come off but there was residue on my mat. I had cleaned up so it wasn’t fro that. Cards still look ok just wondered what I’d done wrong or is that normal

[@JoRice]

Thanks so much for watching and yes I had a lovely Christmas thanks…I’m not sure to be honest,,but my guess would be maybe the sun was too hot and evaporated some off the water too quickly…you see the water and mica minerals need to mix so that the water almost acts as the glue,,…hope that makes sense…glad they still looked good…hugs xx🩵💚
