Perfect Pearls - Basic


Hi Everyone.  Prior to starting our Group of Seven Cardmakers blog, our group kept in touch during Covid and started trying out new and (revised) older techniques.  We are including them as a reference for those that are interesting in trying them out.

September 2020

Supplies:
  • Perfect Pearl powders
  • Soft Brushes (always keep dry)
  • Versamark or watermark ink
  • Any colour cardstock (dark gives most contrast)
  • Stamps
  • Soft, dry brush or a small piece of swiffer cloth to clean up excess powder
  • Fine water mister (mini mister works well) to set Perfect Pearls

Technique Instructions:
  • Cover stamp with Versamark or watermark ink and stamp onto card stock.
  • Using a soft, dry brush, add just a small amount of Perfect Pearl powder.  Rub over stamped image (pounce to burnish).
  • Remove excess powder with soft, dry brush.  Recommendation:  small piece of swiffer cloth.
  • Spritz lightly with water to set powders.
  • Once dry, rub finger along image to make sure the powder is set.  If not, lightly spritz again.
  • Let dry before making into card.


Perfect Pearls (Basic Technique)








Variation to basic technique:  use coloured inks instead of Versamark for a different look
