and our host this month is Linda as host challenging us to use
Perfect Pearls / Pearl-Ex (shimmer pigment powders)
Well I've had some fun this month using shiny pigment powders with stencils (I have just a few Lindy's Magical Micas and Pearl Ex) .... with some not so creative efforts but I did figure out that the powders I have didn't really make an impact for me so I decided to sponge on some ink, then Versamark and finally dusting with the powders...see below - first pic -- top flower inked with DI and bottom one with the addition on Versamark and a yellow shade mica for the petals, pink for the center and green on the stem. In the bottom pic I added a gold Pearl Ex to the petals so the two flowers are slightly different. To finish my card I stamped and die cut my sentiment and a section of foam sheet to lift the sentiment and used a stitched die cut panel larger than my image piece to give it a frame and used a burnt orange card.
Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it and hope you can pop over to the
