Pearlex!

This was a very difficult card to photograph to capture the shimmer of the pearlex (for this reason I try to create top folded cards when I make a vertical design, but forgot here, oops!. As Is aid before, pearlex powders give you amazing shine and pearly texture, this product is also often called Perfect Pearls. On today's sample I used "Wild at Heart" stamped on white cardstock in Versamark and gold pearlex with "Lovely Labels" over it. The butterfly is from Hugs and Prayers. The bold silhoettes in this set go really nicely with this background. Blessings is cut out with a large oval punch.

I cut out the middle of the label with an Oval Nestability to have the background peeking through to frame up the butterfly. Last I added some lace* and sateen flowers with adhesive nail heads to pick up the gold. Stamped frame is matted onto Pure Luxury Cranberry Tart and Good as Gold.

Here is a pic showing me applying the pearlex, after stamping you simply dust it on with a large brush (any big brush will do, one you use for stenciling, for aplying makeup, etc, although I wouldn't use it for makeup if you use it with Pearlex LOL!) until the image is completely covered, swipe the excess away and then pour it back into the jar. Like glitter and EP, a little pot of this stuff will virtually last you forever. The gold looks amazingly rich.

* So have you ventured into lace yet? This was my last scrap of a yard I bought at Jo-Ann, typically if Gina K doesn't sell it, I don't buy it! But I thought it would be fun to give lace a try. It is great to be to have them cut just as much as you want, this piece I picked out last month I thought would go particular nicely with the delicate flowers and tiny dotted buds in "Wild at Heart" and I was able to use on several cards (which I haven't shown yet, still waiting on those pubs!) so I will surly be getting more as needed... a yard of this was only about 1.50, went a long way and gives a lot of look!
