Hello, it's me again! Told you I had lots to share. I've been trying to give some of my different mediums a little more crafty love so here is another card using Perfect Pearls. This birthday card is for my mother inlaw, whose birthday was yesterday.
I started off by inking up some white cardstock with ink color, Royal Treatment, by Catherine Pooler. After it was dry, I stamped the wildflowers from the Catherine Pooler set, Wonderful Wildflowers, the outlined flower stamps in Versamark ink and white embossed them. Then I took the solid matching flower stamp stamped in Versamark and stamped the inside of the stamp. Next, I brushed Perfect Pearls, the pearl color, onto the images and brushed off all the excess so that all that remained was inside the flowers. Then, I took part of the Marble Swirl stamp, uninked, and stamped it over the images so wherever there was Perfect Pearls, mostly inside the petals, the image would adhere. I then stamped a "happy" in the Royal Treatment on white linen cardstock and cut out the "birthday" sentiment from silver mirror cardstock. I adhered the purple panel to a white linen cardstock base and added some small and medium clear gems for a little added bling. I really like how it turned out with that cool pattern inside the flowers.

Neat background technique, Nancy! I love the weathered wood backdrop and beautiful while flowers!!!
Love this shade of purple and the lighter, pearly flowers! What a great idea to use the swirl stamp to add the look of texture to the petals! I have Perfect Pearls and I don't think I've ever really used them. Well, maybe once, but they need some attention! Maybe we can play with them one day?
This is such a striking card Nance! Isn't fun to revisit other stamping techniques! You did a great job with this card! Si happy to have it in our lineup at Just Us Girls! Happy creating!
What a cool technique! I was wondering how you got the marble effect on just the flowers when I first saw the card! Amazing card! Thanks for playing with Just Us Girls!
