TLC787 Burn the Milk

I wanted to do a fun fold, but thought this would be fun for you.
Did you already try to stamp with milk?
It's big fun, and not very messy
Here we go
step 1:

You'll need milk of course, paper towel, stamps, an iron without using damp or an old iron like mine, to burn the milk and other supplies to color or embellish your card.
You start by folding a paper towel in several layers and wet it with milk, this will be your stamping pad, I've used a plate to put my paper towel.
I've chosen a layer stamp, so stamped the plain layer with milk using a stamping bloc.
step 2:
When you've stamped your image with the milk stamping pad, iron it to burn the milk, milk contains sugar so burning the milk this gives a toffee color to your image, because I've used a layer stamp I stamped the second and last layer with ink, I've used walnut stain distress and olive green Versafine.





step 3:

Add color and details, I've added a bird stamped with crimson red , I've used water color pencils and water to color the bird and added a bit of color to my leaves.
Finish your card and have fun.


I've tried to make another with a stencil, it works too, you use the paper towel soaked with milk and go over the stencil tapping the paper lightly then you iron and finish your card




You can use also an embossing folder, sponge a bit of milk over the paper of course not too wet, and iron it slightly.

Here's the TLC787 Burn the Milk

As I had a sneak preview of the challenge, I started yesterday after I'd done the household ironing. I still have to produce a card. I do encourage you to try it. Seeing the image emerge reminded of standing beside my dad in the darkroom watching the photographs develop as if by magic.
My top tips... don't over-milk your pad - I did, and had to add another piece of kitchen towel.
I needed to use the iron at its hottest setting to get a good result.
Don't burn your fingers! Hot paper is hot enough to burn ;-).

Have fun. Thanks, Anita. I certainly enjoyed this very much.

And here's a super-quick one. Got the housework done, but I want to try cycling 4 or 5 miles to make sure that I could get in to work without collapsing if I try that tomorrow!

Really fun - thank you so much, Anita.

I gave it a go, but my results were not nearly as wonderful as yours...but I went with what I got. Thanks for the new technique, Anita.

My nonfat milk didn't work, so I played the CAS. I will remember this. Maybe I'll try lemon juice.

Two more, one done a little differently!

I'm sorry it didn't work for you, I've used half fat milk
