Mother of Pearl Technique

In the demonstrator magazine this month they featured an updated take on the Mother of Pearl technique.  Here's a case of the card they did -


Pour a very small amount of Frost White shimmer ink onto a paper plate.  Wad up a piece of plastic wrap into a ball and pick up some of the ink.  Pounce it onto a piece of glossy white paper - leaving some white showing.  Let dry.  Now you can either sponge color over it or brayer color.  In the sample above I used a sponge.  Here's a comparison with a brayer -



The brayered piece has a much deeper color. 

Supplies
Stamp set - Easter Blossoms
Card stock - Baja Breeze, Rose Red, Basic Black, glossy white
Ink - Jet Black Stazon, Rose Red, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Baja Breeze, Frost White shimmer
Ect - Tulip embossing folder, Rose Red seam binding, linen thread, pearl, itty bitty flower, plastic wrap, spritzer tool, 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 circle punches.

Have fun with this and don't forget to share your cards!  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
