I bought the Perfect Pearls pack of metallics a few years ago and love the shine they add to cards. The pack comes with four colours of pearls, two brushes and a Perfect Medium pad. The great thing about Perfect Pearls is that the Perfect Medium (or Versamark) can be used as a binder and you don't have to add a fixative after. Big bonus in my book!
I wanted to try using them in three shades with some alphabet stamps - the new Headline Alphabet set from Papertrey. The graphic lines of this set work well with the powders.
I used the Perfect Medium pad with the stamps - first stamping the alphabet and then using the silver in the centre, the gold above and the bronze below. I added the trucks and cards and used silver. A super simple card but the shine in person is great!
Have you ever used these? Any tips or tricks using them? One that I learned is that you can make your own shimmer mists using these with water in mini misters (or any small spritzing bottle).
