How To - Perfect Pearls

Here are some techniques to try using Perfect Pearls*

Stamp using Perfect Medium™ on mat paper. Apply chalk with sponge applicators over the stamped image. Since chalks are actually powdered, dry pigment pressed into a cake, Perfect Medium will change them to paint and permanently set them. They will intensify in colour. For more “sparkle”, create a Sunflower Sparkle glaze over the top

Brayer dye based ink on Glossy Paper (the paper skin will not be able to absorb all the ink). Add water to Perfect Pearl™ Perfect Gold (from the Metallics Kit) to form a creamy paint. With a very fine mist spray bottle, mist paper. Work quickly and splatter or dab the Perfect Gold paint on with a brush. Spritz with a fine mist of water again. Manipulate the paper a little to make it start running. Now, crumple up a paper towel and dab lightly over the entire page to create veins and texture.

Emboss a design with clear Embossing Powder. Mix Perfect Pearls from the Sparkle kit with a little water and Artists Watercolour. Brush on and let dry. Put between sheets of newsprint paper and iron out the embossing powder.

Add water to several Perfect Pearl™ colours to form creamy paints. Spritz matte paper with Perfect Ink Refresher™ (the PIR will put some slip and slide in the paper and allows the pigments to move around on the matte paper - you can use plain water, but there won’t be as much movement) Quickly dab the paints over the entire surface and spray with a fine mist of water and manipulate the paper to make the paint run
