Stenciling with Perfect Pearls

Hello there!

Mayuri here to share a card using the gorgeous Hexastar Stencil from the May Release!

I love the geometric design of this stencil and can see myself reaching for it again and again to create awesome backgrounds! This card took no time at all to put together - I began by laying the stencil down onto some dark coloured cardstock and stamping all over with the Versamark Ink pad.

I lifted the stencil away and brushed some gold Perfect Pearls over the sticky areas - I didn't mind the unevenness of my stamping (near the edges), as it give the overall look a sense of depth.

I gently wiped any excess Perfect Pearls with a dryer sheet and trimmed the panel down to slightly smaller than my card base. Before foam mounting the panel, I swiped the Versamark Ink pad along all four edges of the card base, and again brush with the Perfect Pearls. This gave me a nice matching border...

I wanted to keep the sentiment simple so that the focal panel could really be the star of this card, so I stamped one from the Origami Map set onto a strip of the same dark cardstock with Versamark, sprinkled with gold embossing powder and heat set. I trimmed the sentiment piece down and foam mounted it to the card front.

To finish, I added a selection of Summer Sun and Gold Mix sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Cut Flowers and Perfect Pearls!

Hey everyone!

Mayuri here to share a card that teams Paper Cut Flowers with Perfect Pearls!

I began by prepping a black card base with an embossing powder tool to remove any static. I then stamped images from the Paper Cut Flowers set with Versamark Ink and brushed lightly with Perfect Gold and Forever Red Perfect Pearls.

I brushed away the excess powder to reveal the awesome pearly image and then lightly spritzed with water to set.

For the sentiment, I die-cut the Birthday Tag from some gold foil cardstock and added a little twine through the hole. This was then foam mounted to the card base.

To finished I sprinkled with some sequins and gemstones.

This card was fairly quick to produce, and if you don't mind getting messy with Perfect Pearls, you can make a quick card set by changing up the colours! 

Thanks for stopping by ;-)
