Creative Chemistry 101 Day 9 Perfect Pearls

Perfect Pearls Tags

Today was a bit more fun and a bit more challenging.

Tag 1 was created by using distress inks on a tag and then dropping perfect pearls to the tag with a brush.  When all the pearls were applied I sprayed the tag with water and dried it.  And Voila! A pearlized background.

Tag 2 begins the same.  I used distress ink to create a background and set it with a heat tool.  Then I stamped the image and and then applied perfect pearls over the wet ink.  Next I sprayed it with water and the ink bled out from behind the perfect pearls just a bit.  It needs to be heat set quickly to avoid a blurry mess.  I think it looks pretty cool.  I used Dusty concord to stamp the image with the copper colored perfect pearls over the top.  

Tag 3 was my challenge. I was supposed to mix my perfect pearls into a mister and shake well before putting the sprayer in. and spray it onto a tag to create a background.  I only have the metallic set of perfect pearls and it didn't show up well on either the black or manilla tags I tried.   So I took one of the Mini Misters that I had mixed a few drops of re-inker into water for a previous lesson and added the white perfect pearls powsder.  I then sprayed a tag, and dried it several times and with different colors to create the background above.  So happy to realize I can get the same effect and don't have to figure out storage for all those little jars!

Thanks for checking out my creations.
