Faux Mother of Pearl Technique by Loll Thompson

[@SpecialK2710]

Wow Loll - brilliant technique and I agree with Vicki and Marie.......your voice is lovely, so peaceful and calming. Must admit I had a shock when I first heard myself on tape; as you say it doesn't sound like that in my head!!! lol xxx

[@TheKserwin]

I have never cared for orange nor pink, but I have fallen in love with the look of both together (LOL)! I bought some yarn over the past couple of years with that combo Great technique and you have created some elegant cards using it. Congratulations.

You did a fabulous job on your first You Tube video Loll! I loved watching you make your faux Mother of Pearl. Looks like a fun technique. I look forward to more video's from you!

[@kimberlyann207]

This is beautiful! I like misting my distress ink on my craft sheet with a mix of water and perfect pearls .. Comes out beautifully every time! Love your videos .. Hope you'll be posting more soon! Hugs :) Kimberly

[@Calmom5]

Great technique, I have not heard of Frost White Paint, definitely want it. I followed your instructions to your website at Stamping with Loll.com and I love all of your samples on this technique. You are very creative, thank you for making excellent quality of Videos on You Tube.

[@lollthompson7357]

+Calmom5 Thanks so much!! :) Not sure where you live, but I buy my frost white paint from Dharma Trading in the U.S. They have a very good price. I'll include the link below in case you want to check it out --- the metallics (including frost white) are near the bottom of the page. www.dharmatrading.com/paints/all-purpose-ink.html?lnav=paints.html

[@sandiemunro990]

This is a fabulous tutorial Loll, congrats and what a great look this technique gives. I am going to subscribe so I see more!!

[@lollthompson7357]

Thanks Sandie. I hope to more video now that I've figured things out a bit. :)

[@TraceyMcNeely]

Great video Lol, I have to give this a try but I need to get some frost paint first! Yay shopping!

[@lollthompson7357]

+Tracey McNeely Hi Tracey. Thanks so much. This is such a fun and easy technique. I believe you're in Canada (me too!). :) I buy my frost paint from Dharma Trading (US) ... best price I've found for the Tsukineko Frost White paint, which I have found works best for this technique. Dharma's customer service and shipping time has been good with all my orders. Loll xx

[@angelareed6218]

Yes Loll, Dhama Trading is definitely the best price for the frost paint!

[@kathyk7428]

FAB video - I already tried it out myself (since watching) Kathyk

[@lollthompson7357]

I saw your Faux Mother of Pearl on Happy Little Stampers Kathy ... turned out AWESOME!! xx

[@jennymartin9679]

Great video!

[@lollthompson7357]

Thanks Jenny!!

[@VDUTCHR]

Look at you go! Well done - you have a very nice voice for your video too :)

[@lollthompson7357]

You are so sweet Vicki! Actually ... don't really like the sound of my own voice ... it doesn't sound at all like it does in my head :) xx

[@kathyk7428]

Loll Thompson I never believe the sound of my own voice either - always sounds to me like I've a head cold!!! Feel so sorry for all my friends if it really does (sound like that!) Kathyk

[@stampnurse]

Beautiful!

[@candacekieper4354]

Have used frost white acrylic paint also

[@vickiekrivacs6796]

Thanks for sharing.

[@cheryl7476]

Is there a product I can use to substitute the frost white paint until I can order some? what a beautiful background technique!

[@lollthompson7357]

+cheryl7476 Hi Cheryl. You could use white perfect pearls instead. I haven't found anything that works near as good as the Frost White Paint from Tsukineko. I buy mine through Dharma Trading (US) ... best price I've found. Not sure where you're at, but I believe they ship everywhere. Just not sure how high the shipping charges are. Here's the link to the paint at Dharma (scroll down to the bottom to see the metallics). www.dharmatrading.com/paints/all-purpose-ink.html?lnav=paints.html

[@lavonnesylvester2809]

I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing it! So nice to put a voice to the name, and such a nice voice too. :) Could you maybe share how you shaped the leaves?

[@lollthompson7357]

Hi Lavonne. I used a large ball stylus and foam mat to shape my leaves, working on the back of the die-cut. Hope that helps. Loll

[@lavonnesylvester2809]

Thanks for replying. Didn't expect an answer quite so fast! ;)

[@PamelliaJohnson]

What a fabulous technique Loll! I will definitely be trying this out! Are the ink pads a dye base? I assume any company of dye inks would work with this? :)

[@lollthompson7357]

+Pamellia Johnson Hi Pamellia. Yes, I used dye inks from Stampin' Up!, but think any dye inks would work the same. The butterfly cards I made yesterday and posted are done with distress inks over the pearl resist.

[@PamelliaJohnson]

+Loll Thompson Perfect, thanks so much Loll! :)

[@SheryRuss]

Wonderful tutorial, Loll!!! Subscribing so I don't miss your future videos :o)
