Thanks for your comment Shelly.

I got the technique for faux mother of pearl from our monthly Stampin' Up! magazine here in Australia. I put a few drops of Shimmer Paint (Frost White) on an acrylic block, then scrunched up some plastic wrap and daubed it all over a sheet of glossy white card stock. When it was dry (I helped it with a heat gun), I sponged dye ink over it, then wiped it off with a paper towel. The ink won't stay where the shimmer paint is. To stamp an image, I used Stazon Jet Black.

I have also used Platinum Shimmer Paint which gives a silvery effect (see my blog).

I have since found that there is a technique here on Splitcoaststampers - http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/faux_mother_of_pearls_lumieretrade_resist/.

Hope this helps.

That background is beautiful. I wonder if it's similar to polished stone technique.
