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)

So interesting and beautiful.
One of my fave techniques Loll and this is a stunning example! I may ave to get my hands on that stencil too! x
This is so bright and fun, Lolly! I think I've finally got the hang of the Faux Mother of Pearl. Hope to show some cards soon.
Love that technique, whether for a regular background or through a stencil. Your sunshine is beautiful with the shimmer from it.
Very pretty card! I enjoyed watching the video. Thanks for sharing!
This is such a cheerful card! Love this so much that I want to literally run out and get the supplies for it. It's great for so many occasions. Fun card, LolL!
Beautiful shimmer and shine Loll using this great technique and love this sun ray stencil by Tim Holtz which looks great and in the pretty orange and yellow, and a wonderful sentiment too. x
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
Beautiful Loll, Makes me think of summer and seeing friends again.Loved the technique :)

Stunning card Loll - love the vibrant colours with the faux mother of pearl
Stay safe
Blessings

Looks fantastic! What a bright and happy card, Loll! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the reminder of this technique Loll and what a pretty effect x. A vibrant and happy card, full of sunshine x.
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
What a beautiful look, love that pearly shine and gorgeous cheery sunshine colours xx
A ray full of sunshine on a card! Great technique with spectacular results. Love that shimmer. I need to buy some shimmer paint. 😂
This card is so beautiful and uplifting, Loll! Thank you for sharing your video tutorial link! I'd love to try this technique. (But first, I want to buy Frost White Pearl Paint!!) I love the shimmer of the paint and the Faux Mother of Pearl effect. Perfect stenciling too!

This is so pretty, Loll. Thank you for sharing that technique. It really shines and this sunshine makes me smile. I needed that since all these gray days.
What a fabulous burst of sunshine! Love the stencil, the shimmer, the yellow!
Ooooh ..... hadn't thought of using the Faux MOP technique with a stencil, it looks great! Love the touches of shimmer showing through. Thanks for sharing Loll, will have to give this a try xx
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!
xx
