Gee thanks!!!! I have just uploaded some cards for the first time...took me awhile to figure it out. I only have about 50 more, but don't think I will take the time to load them all. Thanks for the nice comments ...You are in Dallas too? Burning up with all the heat? It is getting depressing, isn't it!

The pearl-ex technique is easy. You can use Perfect Pearls also - it works the same. After you have the black image embossed ( I use detail black) on the black cardstock, just get a small paintbrush and dip it into water slightly. Then dip just the tip of the brush into your pearl ex and apply all over your image or just where you want it. For most of my cards, I use more than one color and mingle them together around the image. If you don't like it you can wipe off much of it while wet, then add more of another color you like. Make sure it is not too thick to allow the image to still show thru. You can use a tissue to dab over it if the image is getting lost with the pearl ex. Allow to dry - some warping of the cardstock may occur - use thick cardstock if you can. You should try it!
