Hi, Friends......
I am here to share a valentine with you......that I did a bold experiment on! This started out as two backgrounds I had made last year. I had set them aside in the black hole that consumes all my extra backgrounds and figured I would deal with them later! Ha. Well, a year later it is nearly Valentines Day, so I thought I had better pull the poor dears out of oblivion and make something with them. But I had a problem.....
Question: What can you do when you have your card all finished and you still think the colors are more intense than they should be?
Answer: Give it a good spritzing with Perfect Pearls Mist!!!
Yep, that's what I did. The card was all done....100% completely finished....sentiment panel and all....and I realized it was just too bright. So I threw caution to the wind, fully realizing that I might absolutely ruin this card, and started spritzing. lol... I don't use my Perfect Pearls Mist nearly often enough and so I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing. But I love how it ended up with this super-frosty look. Magical!!
What do you think?

Other supplies I used include: Darice - Flowers and Vines Pattern embossing folder, Darice - Swirl Background embossing folder, Versamark ink, silver embossing powder, DCWV scraps, Elmer's Painters Marker - silver, sentiment from dollar rack, thrift store silver mesh ribbon, premade gray card base.
Hope you enjoyed seeing my misting experiment! Thank you for all your wonderful comments. Have a lovely weekend!!

Beautiful. Thanks for this great tip on using perfect pearls mist.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH JANIS!! This is gorgeous! Love all those layered embossed textures, heat embossing and silver lace. Then when you add pearly mists...swoon worthy! It really does remind me of a fairy tale in some kind of Ice Forest with all the shimmer and pink.
