Below is a card I have made using the faux mother of pearl technique for Mothers Day. It also is made using the new In Colour Rich Razzleberry......which I love (I think I have told you this before). I had to scan the card to get a reasonable photo as trying to take it with the camera I kept getting to much shine coming off the pearlescent shimmer.
This technique is quite simple it uses a white pearlescent based acrylic paint to create a resist and give the mother of pearl appearance. Than with some simple sponging of a light pink toned ink and a little bit of rubbing off you are left with the beautiful shimmer effect of mother of pearl.
This is a great subtle way to add a bit of glitz to a card without going overboard. It works great for Sympathy cards as well as does this Stamp Set Fifth Avenue Floral.
This card was created using the following:-
Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry (NEW), White Gloss
DSP: Cottage Wall (NEW)
Ink: Rich Razzleberry (NEW)
Stamp Set: Fifth Avenue Floral
Other: 3 Pearls, Tattered Rose Distress Ink, Acrylic Pearlescent Paint
