Happy Friday, all!
Perfect Pearls are new to me as of late. I’ve never really tried them out until now. Pretty much everything I know about Perfect Pearls comes from watching YouTube videos (Jennifer McGuire has some great Perfect Pearls videos), and also what I learned from this blog post that I found after googling “Perfect Pearls vs. Pearl Ex,”
Anyhow, because it’s a powder, you can do lots of fun things with it! My favorite is emboss resist, so that’s what I did for today’s card. :)
I used the Garden Background stamp from Hero Arts and BasicGrey for the embossing, and the Interference Perfect Pearls kit.
Enjoy!

Love this!! Awesome!
Beautiful…love the softness!
wooow its awesome… havent tried pearl kits yet… ll make one card sooonnn…
I love using perfect pearls for the beautiful shine, but haven’t tried them in quite this way! I love the way your card looks and want to try this technique. I’m making my Christmas cards now and think this would make a super background for some of them!
Very pretty with the soft colors! One of my favorites that you’ve done :)
Lovely card and as always…love your videos.
Waaaaw love the pretty colours and the embosing. Hugs! Mojca
Ooh….love the stamp and die set. The card turned out fantastic and what a great color combination. Nice job!
I LOVE perfect pearls! I use them quite a bit when making sympathy cards b/c of the elegant look it gives to the resist image…Cute card!!! And love the label!!! (Just ordered those myself!) :)
Oh I do love Perfect Pearls! I love the idea of cutting out the shape and stamping inside it. Very nice!
Hi Kristina ~ “Simon” was so smart to bring you on board to create stamps and dies for them…or, should I say “US”! Another great card… I love the soft sheen of the Perfect Pearls! Thank you!!!
very cool card! I bought perfect pearls for the Tim Holtz class at your site, but never used them. I’m going to give them a try.
forgot to ask – how does that taffy card stock compare to Sahara Sand by SU. and the neenah desert storm – kind of looks similar to both, but hard to tell online.
I have to agree with Barb, all your teams are lucky to have you. I am in love with your stamp sets. Its exactly what I am looking for when I go stamp hunting. They are fun & creative without being a one shot deal. Meaning it isn’t just a thanks or a happy birthday but a sentiment that could be used for almost anything. Going to pick up this set to. Eventually I will buy a die cutting machine I just haven’t found one that I find afforable.
What a great card! I LOVE doing backgrounds, and I love playing with Perfect Pearls. I’m not sure why I never considered “painting” with them! Will try out your stamps and dies, which I purchased as soon as I read your blog post about them.
So cool! Thank you.
Here’s are two cards I made using your stamps!!! I love them!

Just love perfect pearls! Always beautiful!
God bless!
Hmmm… I need to dig out my perfect pearls and play!
Great Video…now I need to find the stash of Perfect Pearls that I know are hidden somewhere in my craft room and play. You always have such great videos!!
What a great card! Love the emboss resist look and your water coloring. I’ve watched a few Perfect Pearl videos too – this might put me over the edge to finally buy some!
Enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for all
the times you share your talent with us.
