I didn't get time today to create a card so I thought I would share another delightful card and technique from Mike Funke . . . the guest stamper I had on my blog last week. Remember this "Stamp By Your Man" post? The reader response was so supportive of his card making talent, I thought I would share this card, too.
According to Mike, the technique for today's card "incorporates a brass stencil and moulding paste found in the oil painting section of craft stores. It comes in a jar and is the consistency of frosting.. Please refrain from eating it - I was tempted! You can also find it in the brass stencil section called stencil paste. It is available in colors, but I opted to use white. Position the stencil on your card stock and secure using removable masking tape. Apply the paste using a small putty knife in a thin even layer and immediately - and carefully - remove the stencil and clean with water. Be careful to lift the stencil up carefully without sliding or you will damage the image. Let the impression dry for about 45 minutes to an hour." What an amazing technique . . . even more fascinating in real life!
Mike also shared the following thank you for the mountain of comments he received on his guest stamper gig:
"I just wanted to thank everyone for all their encouragement and positive comments. It sure has inspired me to move forward in this group. I was only intimidated a little by all the creative people who blog and offer samples of their incredible work."
Mike, it would be a privilege to have you as a member of My Stampin' Pretty Pals! I'll be back to creating and blogging tomorrow for Stampin' Pretty . . . frankly, I can't wait!
