Fantasy Film


The fantasy film I bought the other day was clear but I may pick up another colour tomorrow. Jenna has a large fairy stamp that needs shimmery wings and this product would be perfect. I'll let you know how I make out.
How do you use Fantasy Film?
Ink stamp with a permanent ink such as Stazon. Set stamp on table with inked rubber side up.
Cut film into layers just big enough to cover stamp. Place between 2-4 layers of film gently on stamp surface (more layers = thicker film at end).
Without moving the film, cover it with a non-stick ironing cloth, baker’s parchment paper or even a thick sheet of vellum. With a dry iron on a medium to high setting (no steam), iron over the parchment for approx 20-30 seconds. Too much ironing time will burn the film and dull its appearance. Remove parchment and peel the film off the stamp surface.
Now cut out the stamped image and see how it looks against different coloured backgrounds! Makes great angel wings and butterflies etc.
Provided a permanent ink is used, the fantasy film image can even be washed if you want to sew it onto your clothes or linen! Alternatively it can be glittered and decorated up for mounting on cards or in scrapbooks (adding glitter means it cannot be washed though). It can even be stamped/ironed it without using any ink!!
