Here's the instructions from Holly's class
4th Project: Pearl Ex and Lumiere
1. Stamp a pine tree with Basic Brown ink on Old Olive cardstock.
2. Pour tiny amount of Lumiere in the well of a plastic palette.
3. Add a drop or two of Real Red reinker.
4. Stir with toothpick or handle of watercolor brush.
5. Dip the handle end of brush into the �paint� and make dots on the tree. These are your Christmas ornaments or balls on the tree.
6. Set this aside to dry for a few minutes. If you have too much �paint� left over, you can cover this with Saran wrap and reuse later on. You can�t store this for too long, as it will dry up. It�s generally good for several hours.
7. When your red balls are dry, pour a tiny bit of Lumiere onto a plastic plate. Use your toothpick to scoop out a tiny bit of Micro Pearl PE into the Lumiere. Mix it in well with the toothpick.
8. Using a stipple brush, tap it into your White PE mixture, then tap over your tree and red balls. This gives you a snowy effect.
9. Let this dry and then rub the edges of Old Olive cs into your Basic Brown ink pad to distress the edges.
