It's my last day as GIU gal for the week. It has been fun showing off Unity stamps with different techniques that I hope you found interesting. Just a reminder to comment (with an email to be contacted) so you can be entered into drawing for a $20 gift certificate from Unity stamp co.
Today I played with an old product called Perfect Pearls pigment powders. They have a binder in them, but I still like to set them with a Fixative that I spray on them outside. There will be a video at the end of this post but you can also go to my you tube channel to watch it, and more videos.
PP technique #1
Basic instructions:
Perfect Pearls technique #1
1. ink up cardstock with clear embossing ink (any brand should work).
2. add Perfect Pearls with a brush all over inked card. tap off excess powder onto craft sheet to use for bonus background shown in video.
3. ink up stamp with clear embossing ink and press into powdered card. You can repeat stamp your image if you are using a stamp positioner but please remember to clean stamp each time before stamping.
Perfect Pearls technique #2
1. ink stamp with clear embossing ink and stamp on dark cardstock.
2. add Perfect Pearls to inked image with a soft brush and pouncing technique.
3. burnish Perfect Pearls into card with soft brush then buff with swifter cloth or any soft cloth.
tip: both techniques should be set with a spray of Fixative. spray outside or in a well ventilated area.
