Description:

My Perfect Medium that came with my Perfect Pearls was tacky & left globs on my cardstock, so I tried using a embossing stamp pad & it worked just fine. For my sample I put embossing ink pad on my stamp & then stamped my cardstock. On this, I used a brush & "painted" over the ink with gold Perfect Pearls using long strokes.

I tried 3 different face stamps & was not happy with the look but I am still going to keep trying it. I Googled Perfect Pearls & found different ways you can use Perfect Pearls. I want to try different looks, so this swap is going to be a little different.

Make a standard ATC using Perfect Pearls any way you would like. I used it dry a few times & now I want to mix it with water. Experiment with it, have fun with it. I am stepping out of my comfort zone & trying something new to me. Wanna join me?

Two partners with one ATC to each.

Now that I have the picture posted, I see it is hard to see that it is flowers.

The best thing I've found to use with Perfect Pearls is Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Pad. Put it heavy on your stamp and then heavily dab on the Perfect Pearls. I let it dry a little then use a soft brush to dust off the extra. You will then need to set the Perfect Pearls by misting water into the air and waiving your ATC through it or by spraying it with a fixative. Painting it on canvas with aqua pens also works well.

That sounds like a technique I am going to have to try. Thank you.
