Year in Review ~ Perfect Pearls

Jan 6, 2012

In Jan­u­ary Ranger asked me to par­tic­i­pate in their Designer Chal­lenge. They sent the frame and you had to alter it using the prod­ucts they sent. Well the prod­uct was Per­fect Pearls and Per­fect Pearl Mist. I was a bit scared as I had not really played with Per­fect Pearls before. I’d seen them demoed but that was it. So me being me I just jumped in and started going to town. They are really fun to use. My favorite way is to mix the Per­fect Pearl Pow­ders with the coor­di­nat­ing Per­fect Pearl Mists.

2011 Designer Chal­lenge for Ranger Ink

Altered Can­vas Roses accented with Per­fect Pearl Pow­ders, Per­fect Pearl Mists and Stick­les. After I cre­ated each flower I then mixed together the PP Pow­der and Mists and painted the mix­ture onto the book page flow­ers. After the flow­ers were dry I accented the edges of each petal using Dia­mond and Plat­inum Stickles.

Paper Car­na­tions and stamped Wendy Vec­chi Butterflies

I accented the paper car­na­tions and stems in the same man­ner as the roses above. The but­ter­fly image was stamped onto the tag after being inked with a Per­fect Medium Stamp Pad. They also have a Per­fect Pens that I like to use on smaller areas. It is awe­some. After I stamped the image onto the tag I lightly brushed Per­fect Pearls over the stamped image, swirled the pow­der over the image and dusted off the excess pow­der. I then lightly misted the stamped image with water to set the powder.

I col­ored every­thing on this tag using Per­fect Pearl Pow­ders and Mists. I wanted the back­ground to have a water droplet look so I inked Wendy Vecchi’s script stamp with Per­fect Medium stamped it onto the back­ground, poured UTEE on top then melted it using a heat gun… BAM, faux water droplets. I was so happy with the look.

Love Tag Tutorial

This is another tag where I incor­po­rated UTEE and Per­fect Pearls to cre­ate one unique tag. I still love Wendy Vecchi’s Doily stamp so much. I used it as a back­ground for the flower and think it really helped the flower pop even more on the tag. Her back­ground stamp is awe­some too. I cov­ered the entire top of the tag with UTEE, heated it to melt­ing with the heat gun then placed her stamp onto the melted UTEE, let it cool and removed it… love the fin­ished look.

So have you played with Per­fect Pearls? It not, what are you wait­ing for… don’t miss out on all the fun.

Hugs!
