Poppin' Pearls

Instructions: Versamark Ink is a wonderful ink for working with Pearl Ex. It stays moist for awhile and has a sticky property to it, that lets the Pearl Ex powder adhere to it easily.

Stamp your image in Versamark and then use a sponge dauber to apply Pearl Ex powder. For this background, I used  Super Bronze. Work your way over the entire surface.
After covering all of the stamped area with the Pearl Ex, use a Swiffer cloth to wipe off the excess. You can use a paper towel, but the Swiffer is much more efficient at picking up most of the excess powder.
Repeat the process with another image and a different color of Pearl Ex to add dimension to your project. The color shown here is the Super Copper.
  Here is the finished project. To avoid having Pearl Ex rub off of the card, it is best to lightly spray the cardstock with a Mat finish sealer after you have applied the Pearl Ex powder and rubbed off the excess.
