Faux mother of pearl

It's time for Happy Little Stampers March CAS Challenge


When I looked at the tutorials for this technique, I realised that I didn't have any pearl acrylic paint so I tried using plain white acrylic paint with some Perfect Pearls added and it worked really well!
The paint was daubled with a scrunched up piece of cling film and when dry inked with Distress ink applied with a sponge dauber. The card was cut using a Wplus9 Quilt cut die and mounted into the frame cut from plain card using the same die.The sentiment is a combination of Tattered Lace and Memory Box! Butterfly from All Occasion dies.

Another simple background with a silhouette cut with my Silhouette!

    These are both fabulous, Chrissie ... such a soft, feminine quilted square ... and a wonderful dramatic silhouette ... the delicate shimmer is gorgeous! So happy to be designing alongside you at HLS this month! Anita :)
