I saw this technique using liquid pearls with a stencil and thought it looked pretty cool. The result gives you such a shiny background. I think I was able to capture that in my photo. Here are some tips for using the liquid pearls: MAKE sure your liquid pearls are flowing freely, if not use a needle to unclog (you will need big blobs of the liquid), WORK FAST, hold stencil in place with washi or masking tape, drop big blob of liquid pearls on top of stencil and use a credit card to apply, try not to mix colors too much or your design will be muddy, remove the stencil carefully so the cardstock doesn't tear. The liquid pearls start to dry rather quickly so again make sure you work fast.

Wow Polly I love the liquid pearl background. I also love the fact that I have about 6 bottles that have never been opened and I might just give this a try.

Awesome bg with the liquid pearls and stencil pattern. It's mesmerizing and thought provoking with the sentiment. The face image is perfect with the design and the die cut border is a beautiful pattern!
