Already time for our CAS Stencil Card Challenge Reminder cards!
So many beautiful sample cards by our DT and GD Chrissie (Simply One of a Kind).
You will definitely be inspired!
Here is my Beautiful watercolored stencil bird image with Pearl-Ex Powder!
How would you like to see the Gorgeous Shine from the Pearl-Ex?
Close Up with light shining on the pretty Magenta stenciled bird!
I secured the Magenta TM 43 stencil to my glass mat with masking tape.
Then mixed Pearl-Ex metallic powders with water on a palette.
Used Rose Gold, True Blue, Aztec Gold and Solar Gold.
Used a #2 paint brush to paint each color. Drying between colors to
prevent any smearing. Such an easy technique with Gorgeous Shiny results!
Next I die cut my image with SSS Postage Stamp Edge Frame.
Placed card front in MISTI and stamped and heat embossed PB Special Sentiments.
Popped up main image onto SU 100# card base and Done!
I learned how to use Pearl-Ex-Powders at our recent Retreat.
I hope you give it a try with Pearl-Ex or Perfect Pearls.
You still have until the 24th to play along with us at CAS Stencil Card Challenge.
Hugs...
