Hello again! I have been noticing that Perfect Pearls seem to be making a comeback. I think it might be because Ranger released some new colors this year at Creativation. So it was timely that, in my online stamping group, one of the challenges was to play around with old and new Perfect Pearl techniques.
I did play a lot, but the technique that I came to love is Jennifer McGuire’s Faux Metal Textured paper (from 4 years ago). I still remember watching her videos on Perfect Pearls in the Thinking Inking videos, which must be at least 10 years old now.
I used regular Distress inks in Picked Raspberry and Fossilized Amber and then used my regular Gold Perfect Pearls over top. I do have this new Embossing folder from Crafter’s Companion I have been itching to use and it really just turned out beautifully.
The stamps are all from Hero Arts April 2018 kit, colored with pencils, which is one of the ones still available. I was so pleased how this worked out and I truly wonder why I didn’t try this technique sooner! It is a stunner.
I would love to enter A Blog Named Hero’s Anything Goes challenge and Cute Card Thursday’s Anything Goes Challenge.
Thank you so much for visiting today! Have a wonderful weekend and hope to see you again soon!
