Speaking of Mica Tiles!  These are some ‘wowee’ techniques and  pages that staff from USAQ have made using Mica Tiles.

The transfer technique is done with Studio Paper, and is OH, SO SIMPLE! Run Studio Paper through your injet printer. Put it on best, making sure to dump lots of ink. Turn it onto watercolor paper or a nice cardstock, such as Folia. Gently rub the inked area from the backside, using a cotton ball, or Appliqate.  When it’s transferred, place a Mica Tile over the surface and cut the cardstock to match the shape of the Tile.  Use these images on your scrapbook pages.

In Jill and Rose we made the transfer and adhered it using Great Tape. Adhere the Tile to the image itself, by coating it with Duo Adhesive. Allow it to dry, and then just stick it down onto the transfer.

Frankie has made a wonderful cover page for a Scrapbook album featuring her father. The Tile is covering his image, is actually raised from the surface using nuts and bolts. Notice the layered geometric patterning she’s used, using lots of beautiful gilded pieces.  

 The Fine Liner was filled with Duo and drawn down a ruler, with a cork backing. When dry, apply the gilding.  Gently brush the leaves with Duo too, and gild them, using Gildenglitz – Gold.
