Faux mother of pearl



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.
