My Minc arrived and these were tests. The Henry Ford best friend quote has details and some thin areas, but the foil did it justice. I am not certain it shows up well here. The thin stem on Friends as Flowers concerned me, but without need. I was zealous with mats, and with each addition, I turned over the image to be sure the adhesion was complete. Nothing from that foiled set of images wiped off. This does what my detailed embossing powder cannot - a flat sparkling image that, hey, I didn't stamp! I have learned about sizing and trimming images throughout my experiments, and I now do not underestimate the horror of static cling! For those of you considering an AG Minc, my cards give you some basics. Diane
