CHALLENGE WITH A PRIZE

This week for Fabulous Friday Fun I am continuing on with last weeks projects using Liquid Pearls. I came up with so many examples of ways to use it that I had to break it into two posts. HERE is last weeks post and on to this weeks post.

I have these large flowers that are not paper but more like a Mulberry paper but a little bit stronger. For the first idea, I used the White Opal and a rubber background stamp by Hero Arts.

I sprayed a blob of Liquid Pearls with water and painted it onto the stamp.

I placed the flower on the stamp and pressed down onto the stamp. This is the fun look that I got.

The second flower I painted with just white opal Liquid Pearls. After it dried I used platinum pearls mixed together with a couple drops of ink from a Ranger Industries re-inker, color aged mahogany, on wax paper.

I used my paint brush to mix the two together

Then I added more Platinum Pearls to make the mixture thicker.

I painted the petals of the flower lightly with the mixture to get the following look.

Combining the flowers together along with a circle die cut and an epoxy sticker I layered them on to a journal box. Here is a close up of the flower. I like the way the Liquid Pearls add color and texture to the flowers.

For the third flower, I used the same mixture as above on a clear background stamp.

Here I painted the background stamp.  

Place the flower on top of the stamp to transfer the image. 

Here is the flower after being stamped.

The stamped image didn't transfer completely but I was able to use the flower on a card.

Using a snowflake sticker and a rhinestone for the center I was able to hide the imperfection.

There is another Liquid Pearl aspect to this card. I heat embossed snowflake stamps using clear embossing powder. I wanted to see if the Liquid Pearls would resist an embossed image. Adding a few spritzes of water to the Liquid Pearls and painted the patterned paper. 

Thankfully the sun was shining the day I took these photos. You can really see the snowflakes pop off the paper in these shots.

Well, that's all I have for you today. I hope you have enjoyed the different ways to use Liquid Pearls.

Thanks for looking.
