Faux Pearl Techn{ink}


Hi Friends... Thank you for joining me for todays 
Techn{ink} Tuesday
Faux Pearl

I thought this would be a perfect Techn{ink} to try out. 
hand colored using Handy Dandy Stampin Up Markers and Chalk but 
after a little drying it took less than 10 minutes.

Here you go...




After stamping my image and hand coloring each detail 
I took a small amount of Shimmer Paint in Frost White (#116806) 
and using my homemade contraption of plastic wrap and a clothespin (giggle)




I began to dob lightly onto my stamped image
covering every nook and cranny.
I tried to tip the Shimmered image so you can see the Pearl effect.
**Allow to completely dry before building the remainder of your card**
Your colored image will now display a bit lighter once the Pearl takes affect




The image on the left shows the difference in the softened color now
that the pearl has dried.  
(You can probably see our wedding photo in the background)
Image on the right shows the pearl in the light. 
SO PRETTY!!!! 


Here's an enhanced image to show all the details.
I'm proud of how it came out. Just sitting today to play with my "toys" 
added a few embellishments and I think it makes a perfect wedding card.
