Can I Use Chocolate Transfer Sheets On Ganache Covered Cake?

I wanted to make a suitcase cake and saw one that had a pattern similar to some of the designer purse patterns........I found some chocolate transfer sheets with a plaid pattern. I was thinking of covering the cake in ganache and using the transfer sheets for the design on the cake (to make it look like a plaid suitcase.
Can you use transfer sheets this way? Lay the transfer sheet on the ganache, rub it and hopefully when I left off the transfer sheet, the pattern will have transfered.
I have only seen people spread metled chocolate onto the transfer sheets but not rub the pattern onto a cooled surface.
I am tempted to jsut buy some sheets and try it out. I found a site with a pretty good selection and the prices are good.....compared to others I have come across....about $2-3 per sheet and you have to buy a minimum of 5 five sheets. That's not tooo bad. If it doesn't work, hubby can eat the practice cake!
I went back and looked at some of the Sugar Rush shows I have recorded and some guy who made candies took a transfer sheet and rub it over the chocolate candies, lifted the transfer sheet and each candy had a design. I think the candies were like truffles with a hard chocoalate shell.
here's where I found some transfer sheets. I emailed a question about using the transfer sheets and I got a very quick response. You might try and email your questions.
