Mica Spray - You Make me Happy

                                         Mica Spray - You Make Me Happy


Good day, fellow crafters. It's Tamara once again, with a new post where I am going to be showcasing my latest card created using I Brake for Stamps and Blank Page Muse products! 


Incorporating mica sprays with embossed images can create stunning effects. They are a versatile tool that adds a beautiful shimmer and depth to your designs. When applied to embossed images, the sprays highlight the raised areas and enhance the texture, giving your cards a luxurious and dynamic appearance. The result is a captivating blend of color and shine that makes each card unique and eye-catching.


To create this project, you will need the following: 

  • Blank Page Muse You Make Me Happy Hummingbird Clouds Flower

  • I Brake for Stamps Coral Sunflower (Large)

  • Cardstock - white

  • Mica Mists - Olive, Violet, Dark Blue, Peach and Fuchsia

  • Plastic tarp or splatter box (a MUST)

  • Stamping platform

  • Watermark ink

  • White Embossing powder

  • Heat Tool

  • Scissors

  • Liquid glue

  • Paper trimmer

  • A2 card base – white (4.25” x 5.5”)



To craft your card, you will need to begin with the focal image and sentiment.


  • Place white cardstock into the stamping platform

  • Align the stamp, and ink with watermark ink, and stamp the focal image. Repeat to ensure complete coverage

  • Align the stamp, and ink with watermark ink, and stamp the sentiment. Repeat to ensure complete coverage.


  • Remove the background panel from the stamping platform

  • Cover the panel liberally with white embossing powder

  • Heat set the powder with a heat tool

  • Place the embossed panel on top of a paper towel, a tarp, or in a splatter box
  • Using various colors of mica sprays, lightly mist over the design.
  • Apply enough spray to cover completely.  The embossing powder acts as a resist so don’t worry about the image
  • Allow to dry completely
  • Wipe excess from the embossed area which will brighten the image.

The last stage in the creation process is the assembly.  Trim your panel down to  4” x 5.25, which allows for a reveal, and then with liquid glue adhere it to the white A2 card base.  With that, I called the card complete.
