condensed milk...anyone???

[littlebit]

I've seen a card with a condensed milk coating and scorched to look antique. How much do you dilute the milk...if at all? Can't seem to find a tutorial on it. Thanks for your help.

all of the cards on this site were made with sweetened condensed milk. You could email any one of those ladies and ask.

Wow, this technique looks really cool! I never wpould have thought to use condensed milk!

I've seen cards made with this and after a little while they get moldy. Just thought you might want to know.

They can also attract ants ~!

I've done this before it's pretty cool. You don't dilute the milk at all. You just stipple it on with a brush. And then heat it up with your heat gun (embossing gun) till it turns brown. It needs a good coating of milk not too thick though. Mine has never gotten moldy and I've had it for almost 3 years. Hope this helps.

Here is the link to a condensed milk card I did quite awhile back. One thing I do when I'm finished is rub baby powder all over the card - mine has been the same for a few years - no mold, no ants, not sticky - maybe the baby powder helped. I couldn't get the link to work either.

Hi all,

Here is my condensed milk card using the retired set Stipple Butterfly. I made the card ages ago so I can't remember the other stamps, nor the cardstock colours.

The card hung around in my box for ages and never attracted insects or got mouldy. This is definitely a technique that I would do again.

Cheers,
Irene

If you blend 1.5 tsp per can of condensed milk, you shouldn't get mold, and it might repel bugs, but I'm not certain of it. You can also seal it with a spray seal, gel medium, or other acrylic.

Yeah, that should read 1.5 tsp of SALT.
