She had us peal a portion and then scribble on some wax paper and use a stipple brush to apply the paint to the card stock. It was going through the stencil, of course, but we did some beautiful shadings and coloring with them. They even had metallic stix which were quite lovely. Had to get some which I split with another class mate, and still have plenty to use!!! Great effect and looks so pretty.....Cheryl Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414006450951118365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154321430245810513.post-87064816970587347302012-02-27T01:48:27.151-08:002012-02-27T01:48:27.151-08:00Karen I love your experiment, I learn so much from...Karen I love your experiment, I learn so much from you, thanks for sharingLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246462023363208636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154321430245810513.post-12755983158850093532012-02-07T14:39:23.321-08:002012-02-07T14:39:23.321-08:00Coffee card swap cards look great, good one.

I lived in Rabaul for four years in the early 70s, a town rather than bush background in TPNG Nice to know there arte others out there with half way similar backgrounds.Cherriewillywagtailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161501326916060091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154321430245810513.post-17534102641877847672010-08-03T07:44:16.870-07:002010-08-03T07:44:16.870-07:00Sounds like your fingers will be busy creating for...Sounds like your fingers will be busy creating for some time!
