This week's CAS challenge was to show off your bling. I've been playing with pearl ex a lot this week, so this was the perfect challenge!
Sorry for the weird angle on this card...it's hard to photograph the card so it shows the pearly shine of the pearl ex!
For the image panel, I covered a piece of navy cs with versamark ink. Then I brushed on interference red, gold and a squidge of duo green/gold pearl ex powders over the cs with a soft dry brush (just dip the brush in the powder and then brush on - a little goes a long way).
Then, I inked my stamp with versamark and stamped down on the pearlex'd cs which lifts the powder back off of the paper. I finished the image by spraying it with a layer of workable fixative to keep the powder from rubbing off (hairspray works too).
Thanks for taking a look!
