Here is a card we did in club last night. The technique is called Mother of Pearl. I wanted to try it since it was highlighted in Stampin' Success over a year ago. You know when see something and you think, gotta make that! Well Stampin' Success is one of my favorite perks, as a Stampin' Up demonstrator!! It is a free magazine, jammed packed full of ideas, techniques. When it comes in the mail, literally I read it cover to cover.
Here's how I made it:
- Start with Stampin' Up's Glossy Paper
- Apply a dime size or smaller dab of Stampin' Up paint, on a plastic plate ( I used Frosty White)
- Take a small piece of Saran Wrap wadded up and dab into paint, then dab on Glosssy paper randomly (the shiny side) leaving space between the paint, this will give a variegated look
- Use the Brayer to roll on Classic Ink (I used Primrose Petals)
- Allow to dry, takes just a couple minutes-dries fast!
- Cut out as desired ( I used the Fun Flowers Die)
I am not sure the camera (or the photographer... :) ) picks up on the sheen. It really looks like expensive paper. I absolutley love transforming paper!! It is so pretty. Give it a try! I think it would also make a stunning background, for a card or scrapbook page.
Its a WOW technique that is really pretty simple.
