Ippity Hop Monday... Authentic Man and Perfect Pearls

Good Morning!  I'm so glad fall is here and the crisp, cool weather has finally arrived!  After such a hot summer, this cool air is just so refreshing and crafting is so much more enjoyable.  A few weeks ago I read a post about Perfect Pearls and after viewing  a few videos and seeing some examples, I decided to give this product a try.  In case you've never heard of Perfect Pearls, this article gives a good explanation of the product and how to use it.  So here is my first attempt at using Perfect  Pearls:

The car and the blue circle are both dusted with Perfect Pearls. For this card I used this wonderful male oriented stamp set;  Authentic Man.   I don't know if you can tell from the pictures, but the stamped images have a sheen to them. Under a lamp or next to a sunny window, the dusted  images have a pretty reflective shine.   You can also mix the Perfect Pearls with water to paint with, or you can make a  mist and spray your stamped project  to give it a shimmery effect.  For the rest of the card I used a background stamp from CHF for the distressed grid background and  the map paper is from October Afternoon.  Here is close up of the stamp set used on this card:




If you've used Perfect Pearls before, let me know how you like it.  It seems like a fun product to give your projects a special effect.   To continue along the hop click HERE.  Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a wonderful week!

Great masculine card, love the retro feel from the offset circles. I LOVE perfect pearls...add a pinch with some reinker to a mister and you've got an awesome shimmery mist, any color combo you want!
