Hi crafters,
It's time for the next installment in my Festive Sunday Inspiration series and we've made it to week 14 already. You can still catch up on the previous posts, take a look back at the first post. I will be bringing you a post every Sunday until 29 November featuring festive projects to spark your creativity. Projects will feature Stampin' Up! products from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue and the Annual Catalogue, using a variety of techniques. If you would like to purchase any of the products for yourself, please visit my online shop which is open 24/7.
I'm so excited for today's installment because I've used a product that I've had in my stash for probably about a decade and thanks to Jennifer McGuire it's been given a new lease of life! Jennifer has created three videos showcasing different ways to use Perfect Pearls Pigment Powders and I was really keen to try out the technique in the first video. I unearthed my Perfect Pearls and used them with Versamark ink to create gorgeous snowflakes.I started a production line by cutting four panels of Night of Navy cardstock to size. I looked out the snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set and put each on an acrylic block. Now that I think about it again, I could have mounted all the snowflakes in place onto the Stamparatus plate and stamped the entire panel in one go! Oh well, next time! I used Versamark ink and applied this to the stamp before transferring the image to the Night of Navy cardstock. Once all the stamping was complete, I added a few small scoops of Perfect Pearls Pigment Powders to the stamping and then brushed off the excess.
My final card adds a purple element and I tied in some silver accents too. I used the Metallic Mesh Ribbon and wrapped this around the Night of Navy panel. I used the Silver Foil Sheets and the Stitched Shapes Dies for the base of my sentiment. I popped on a Gorgeous Grape snowflake die cut from the So Many Snowflakes Dies and then added a Silver Foil Joy die cut from the Joy Dies. I finished off with some clear jewels from the Elegant Faceted Gems.
What crafty item has been hiding in your crafty stash just waiting to be unleashed in a new way? I'd love to know what you think of the perfect pearls and don't forget to check out Jennifer's videos over at You Tube.
Happy crafting, Rachel x
