Nothing on the sheets - when the gelatin is dry - it literally pops off by itself! (when I made the butterflies, I had the sheet of them setting on the counter here beside me, and I could actually HEAR them releasing from the sheet!)
What happens when it's too thick?
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to do this...such a great technique..cool!
This is so cool 
....How well do they hold up in heat? How long do they last? and How do you store them?
Yes, this is a great technique. I'm playing with the flowers now. The butterflies are very easy and loads of fun to do! You'll love it!! 
Thank you SO much for sharing. These are amazing. Now I have to go back to the store and get some gelatin!
As far as the ccake addiction thing goes - my husband just said that every time I do a cake I have to go buy more things. Then he asked if I wanted him to build me a place just for my cake stuff!! Unfortunately, I think he was kidding

I have a quick question... when I did my first batch, the color was too light (I tried purple -- gel colors). Not only did i put it on too thin, it was just about clear! (Had to toss the whole batch.) I know this may sound strange but how many drops of color do you use (per 1 recipe)?
As to "hearing" it pop off the sheets.... it kinda freaked me out the first time! I was home (alone) and reading in bed and I kept hearing "something" from the kitchen... it took me a while to figure it out!

You cn DEFINATELY tell if it is too thick, it will not be pliable at all, it will dry a big ol' sheet of hard plastic!! (ask me how I know this......)
Hmm but can I still cut it with a scissor when it too thick I can think of a ew things I can use that for... interesting!!!!!!
Hi Di!
I emailed you last week regarding sending a butterfly imprint sheet to Australia...just wondering if you got my email. Are you able to ship overseas?

EDITED TO ADD: Actually I want all THREE imprint sheets. My name is Eve and I am a cake decorating equipment addict 
Maria - yes, you can still cut the thick dry gelatin with scissors, it is just not flexible enough to bend into the shapes needed for the bow.
I am making another one today - painted the impression sheet last night before I went to bed and it was perfectly dry and ready to go this morning. I am taking pics of each step while doing this one.
As far as the color goes, a dab will do! I just put ONE drop of color in the gelatin for the blue bow I posted (and it now my avatar!) I have not tried to do one in a dark color. The one I am working on right now is pink (my favorite color!)

Awesome!!! I know just what to do with them!!!!
Loucinda,
You will be posting those pics, won't you? I can hardly wait to 'watch' you. Y'all are so generous to share such an amazing and beautiful technique. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Justdi, I don't know if this has been brought up, but you could easily put "Learn to make gelatin bows & butterflies" and your site in your signature so people can see it as you do your everyday posts. (At least I post everyday, I guess I can't talk for everyone. ) You could get traffic to your site & I don't think anyone would feel like you were pushing your product.
I'm thinking about using them as windows for a ginger bread house or windshield for convertible maybe even stain glass the possibilties are endless
Here is the 2nd one I have done with JustDi's impression sheets and technique:

Maria,
I love the idea of using the gelatin for stained glass windows! That would be gorgeous! And windows on a house...such great ideas.
Melissa
Here are some other examples of gelatin butterflies, bows and flowers that Di and Michaelle have done.
Thank you so much!! What an exciting technique - amazing results. Okay, so is there a 24 hr help line for CC addicts (CCA?), cuz let's face it, we all know what we all will be playing with this weekend. Late into the night we'll all be listening for that new "gelatin releasing from the impression sheet" sounds..... SO cool! Thanks again for sharing. BTW, lusterdust on flowers?
