Perfect Pearls - Watercolouring


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 Pearls powders
  • Die-cut images (heavy card, watercolour paper, or mixed media paper)
  • Paint brushes
  • Water

Technique Instructions:

  • Mix water and Perfect Pearls on your craft mat or palette.  The water activates the binding agent and sets the colour.  Less water gives an opaque (solid) look, more water creates a transparent look.
  • Use paint brushes to paint onto die-cut images.  If using more than one colour of Perfect Pearls, add colours lightest to darkest.
  • Two coats will help with solid coverage.

Variation:  Watercolouring with Perfect Pearls mixed with ink:

Mix Perfect Pearls powders with ink and then watercolour as above.  Adding pearl-coloured powder will not change the colour of your ink, but will give it shimmer.
