Basically it is as simple as using a ball of Saran Wrap to sponge on Stampin' Up's Frost White Shimmer Paint (made by Tsukineko). When it dries you sponge the whole thing with any color ink to get the subtle pearlized look. Dawn's video on this post walks you through the whole process and her sample card is gorgeous!
The colors on my card come from The Paper Players Color Challenge.
- Stamps: American Art Stamp
- Ink: Stampin' Up Baja Breeze, copics to match Poppy Parade and a green
- Paper: Stampin' Up Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Whisper White, Black
- Accessories: Stampin' Up Frost White Shimmer Paint, Sizzix embossing folder, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, SU pearls, satin ribbon to match Poppy Parade

What a great technique. It really DOES look like mother of pearl and adds some nice shimmery goodness to your lovely images.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about the Shimmer paint and the faux pearl. I had forgotten that one too! Your card is just lovely using it for the BG.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! :)
