Christmas Card for Fabulous Friday Fun 12-2-11

*Click here for my Challenge with a prize

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday. This week I am going to show you a couple ways I used Liquid Pearls by Ranger Industries.

I have lots of pictures to share with you today. But the first one I want to share is a card I made for the I Did it Creations challenge on 11-19-11. I used White Opal Liquid Pearls on the snow portion of the snow lady. A DT member asked what I used and that is where this post comes in. (Image by Robyn's Fetish-Bella Da Snowlady)

I'm going to use Robyn's Fetish image called Snow Wagon.

Here is a picture of the other supplies I used for this card. I use wax paper to blend all the ingredients for this first technique.

I take the ink pad and flip it upside down on the wax paper.

From there I add Liquid Pearls off to the side of the ink and then spray water by the two.

The paintbrush draws a little bit from each the ink, water, and Liquid Pearls. Mix them together before you begin to paint on to your image.

The next step is to paint in your image using the mixture of the three. I started with Tea Dye ink and Platinum Pearls.

For a bit of shadowing I made another spot on my wax paper using Vintage Photo distressing ink with the Platinum Pearls.

You have to move quickly with this mixture because it dries quickly. When the mixture is wet you can move it around well however, once it is dry, it is what it is. For the wheels, I used Walnut Stain ink with Platinum Pearls and water too. The gears of the wheel could no longer be seen once I painted over them but that was OK-you will see why in a few photos.

I colored in the heart using Barn Door Distressing ink, water, and White Opal Liquid Pearls. I then started into making the snow. Just squirt some into the area you want the texture and use the tip to push it close to the lines of the image and to give it a swirl effect.

You can see in this last one that I went around the lines of the image to give the snow more depth.

Next, I made the ground snow covered by using the White Opal Liquid Pearls.

Here is my final card where you can see I placed glittery chipboard dots in place of the gears on the wheels.

This second example will be quick. I used the Christmas Cookie image by Robyn's Fetish.

I painted the cookie with a combination of Tea Dye and Antique Linen Distressing inks and water with Perfect Pearls. Then I colored the frosting of the cookie with a paintbrush using Platinum Liquid Pearls and water. From there I used the White Opal Liquid Pearls and made the frosting swirls. I painted in the dots with Barn Door Red and water because I wasn't sure if my rhinestones would cover the entire circle.

Then like a silly girl I put the rhinestones on with my iRock and thought I should use a Spellbinders die on this cute little cookie. Lol. The rhinestones cracked and dented my Cuttlebug plate. However, my rhinestones sparkle like diamonds now. Maybe I will try and take another picture in the daylight so you can see them better. I thought it was pretty funny.
