Hello again,
I am not sure how I missed this awesome technique. It is called the Faux Mother of Pearl look. Unfortunately, I don't own any pearl acrylic paint or liquid pearls as the true technique calls for, so I improvised with what I had. I had white embossing paste that I have only used a handful of times. So I thought "why not?" If it doesn't work, it doesn't work"
I have to say, I love the look, although I am not sure it is a true "faux mother of pearl" (if there is such a thing...lol) This card was very hard for me, I do not do well with lots of white space! I am just so glad to be on spring break, and have enough energy to create Enjoy!
It worked and beautifully so!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great color and texture this gives, Cindy! It is so perfect with your die cut sentiment! What a wonderful card! I hope you have a fabulous spring break!

Fabulous card! I have heard of this technique, but have never tried it. I would have to improvise with supplies too, but it could be fun!
