Wanted to try Beate's tutorial as I haven't done this technique yet and love PearlEx! Had to improvise somewhat since I have no Xyron machine. I did however have some clear plastic, heavy-duty labels from an old job of mine. Worked just as well except the PE smeared a little cuz I had to glue it down on the cardstock. Also.. it's really shimmery in real life.. wish it would have scanned.
