Faux Mother-of-Pearl Stenciling


Hi everyone.  This is Faux Mother-of-Pearl through a stencil.  I do love the FMOP technique (video tutorial HERE) and it looks awesome using a stencil.

I used the misti to line up my card front (regular card stock) with the stencil (Rays Layering Stencil - Tim Holtz).  That way I could take off the stencil to clean after adding the pearl resist and it would be easy to place it into the same position for adding ink.

Used Frost White (Tsukinecko) acrylic pearl paint for my Faux Mother-of-Pearl look.  It's the most wonderful shimmery pearl ink. 

After the pearl paint is dry, I blended colours of Distress Inks over top (Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Ripe Persimmon).  Once the sponging had dried, I used a paper towel to gently buff over the stencil and remove any ink that was sitting on top of the pearl resist.  Finished the card by stamping a sentiment (Sunny Skies - Lawn Fawn - retired) in black with clear embossing.

Close-up - this shows the shimmer from the frost paint better, but it is even more shimmery in real life ...


Stamps:  Sunny Skies - retired (Lawn Fawn)
Paper:   White card stock (Neenah 110 lb.)
Ink:   Distress Inks: Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Ripe Persimmon (Tim Holtz); Black (Memento)
Accessories:   Frost White Pearl Paint (Tsukineko), cling wrap, Rays Layering Stencil (Tim Holtz), sponges

  8. I would not have thought to use a stencil with this beautiful faux MofP technique, Lolly. Your stenciled sunburst turned out beautifully. It has been a long time since I use the MofP technique for a background. Now I am inspired to use the technique with a stencil:-) Thank you so much my friend for sharing. I enjoyed watching your M0fP video again too. Love and Hugs..Nancy

  14. What a happy, cheery card Loll! I love this stencil and have it as well, but so sorry to say it is a NBUS as most of my stencils are. I so need to get them out and have a play. I also need to get me some of the frost paint/ink to try this technique as I love the look you get! Hugs, Brenda

  21. This technique is producing spectacular results, Loll. Your card is beautiful, I love all the glare of your sun. You can warm yourself in its rays, it is really an amazing impression. As if I'm getting closer to the sun :-) And the sentiment is perfectly matched!
