Tips & Techniques:
Perfect Pearls™

Here are some techniques to try using Perfect Pearls™.

	Perfect Pearls™ coated UTEE™ Make beautiful pearlized embellishments for all of your projects with this Perfect Pearls and UTEE technique!

	Bliss Perfect Pearls™ Technique Create pearlescent effects on scrapbook pages with this Perfect Pearls technique!

	Shiny Stone Brayer dye based ink on Glossy Paper (the paper skin will not be able to absorb all the ink). Add water to Perfect Pearl™ Perfect Gold (from the Metallics Kit) to form a creamy paint. With a very fine mist spray bottle, mist paper. Work quickly and splatter or dab the Perfect Gold paint on with a brush. Spritz with a fine mist of water again. Manipulate the paper a little to make it start running. Now, crumple up a paper towel and dab lightly over the entire page to create veins and texture. A perfect technique to use with Big N’ Juicy™ Rainbow Inks!

	Perfect Resist Stamp using Clear Perfect Medium™ on Glossy Paper. Brayer dye based ink over the top. The stamped image will "resist" the ink. This process can be done in layers for more color.

	Perfect Black Resist Stamp with Black Perfect Medium™ on Glossy Paper. Brayer dye based ink over the top (Big N’ Juicy™ Rainbow Pads are perfect for this technique!). The stamped image will "resist" the ink. This process can be done in layers for more color.

	Perfect Medium™ & Chalks Stamp using Perfect Medium™ on matte paper. Apply chalk with sponge applicators over the stamped image. Since chalks are actually powdered, dry pigment pressed into a cake, Perfect Medium will change them to paint and permanently set them. They will intensify in color. For more “sparkle”, create a Sunflower Sparkle glaze over the top.

	Northern Lights Paper Add water to several Perfect Pearl™ colors to form creamy paints. Spritz matte paper with Perfect Ink Refresher™ (the PIR will put some slip and slide in the paper and allows the pigments to move around on the matte paper - you can use plain water, but there won’t be as much movement) Quickly dab the paints over the entire surface and spray with a fine mist of water and manipulate the paper to make the paint run.

	Textured Stone Add water to several Perfect Pearl™ colors to form creamy paints. Spritz matte paper with Perfect Ink Refresher™ (the PIR will put some slip and slide on the paper and allows the pigments to move around on the matte paper - you can use plain water, but there won’t be as much movement) Quickly dab the paints over the entire surface and spray with a fine mist of water and manipulate the paper using a crumpled paper towel to make veins and texture.

	Perfect Cosmos Paper Use Colorit™ pigment ink pads to completely cover a piece of heavy white cardstock. Emboss with a couple layers of Clear Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel™ (UTEE™). When cool, apply Perfect Medium™ to the embossed surface and dust heavily with Perfect Pearls™. Don’t shake off excess. Place card on a Non-stick Craft Sheet™ and sprinkle with UTEE. Do not shake off excess. Emboss with the Heatit™ Craft Tool. The UTEE will bead up and as the layer underneath heats up the beads will drop into the bottom layer creating wonderful patterns. The finish should be smooth and completely sealed.
