oooooooooooo, I love it! I hope you can help me. I bought this set and pearlex a couple of months ago. I can't figure out how to use the pealex, you said overstamped with versamark. How did it stick inside the wings? I just can't seem to figure out how everyone makes their butterflies so beautiful! I want mine to jump off the page too. Can you help?

Sorry, there is no pearlex on the butterfly. It is on the background but doesn't show in the picture. The butterfly was first stamped with the black dye ink and then the blue and plum inks were applied with a sponge dauber. Then, it was cut out and a gentle curve put into the wings- attached it with double-sided tape. As for versamark and pearlex, just swirl the pearlex into the versamark with a soft brush. Just use a light touch, relax and play. That's it!
