Designer’s Tip: Work quickly with the Perfect Medium™ on large areas such as this before it dries.

Instructions:

  1. Card front: Place a blank card with the fold on your left. Cover with Gold Metallic paper.
  2. TECHNIQUE: STENCILING WITH PERFECT PEARLS™ Tape the Fancy Frame stencil centered over 4 3/8”x5 7/8” Rhapsody black floral paper and use the Perfect Medium™ ink pad to apply the ink through the stencil. Remove the stencil and quickly apply the Perfect Pearls™ powder to the inked areas. Use white on the center, and a combination of gold and bronze around the outer edges. Use a circular motion with the small brush to apply, and then brush off with the larger brush. Spritz lightly with water to set the pigment and let dry. Mat the piece on black cardstock with a 1/16” border and glue centered on your card.
  3. Repeat the process to ink the small center frame onto black cardstock and apply white Perfect Pearls™. Stamp “Love is a Gift” on the center and apply gold Perfect Pearls™. Spritz with water and let dry. Cut out around the stenciled image with a 1/16” border and mat on Gold Metallic paper with a 1/16” border. Foam tape centered on your card as shown. Place Jewel Dazzles™ as shown.
  4. Card inside: Stamp “You Are So Loved” on the right end of 5”x1 1/2” black cardstock and apply gold and bronze Perfect Pearls™. Spritz with water and let dry. Mat the long edges on Gold Metallic paper, and then on Rhapsody black floral paper with 1/4” borders and glue centered on your card. Place Jewel Dazzles™ as shown.
