Supplies:
White, Black or Colored Cardstock (Glossy or Matt) 4” x 5 1/4” Plus Enough to Decorate
White School Glue
Pearl Ex, Perfect Pearls, or any brand Mica Powders:
Brushes
Paper Towels
Cup of Water
Punches to Decorate Cards
Instructions:
1. Take some white glue (clear drying like Elmer’s School Glue) and spread it all over your cardstock. I used 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 size cardstock.
2. Dip a paint brush into your powdered Pearl Ex or other powdered pigment and tap the brush with your finger to sprinkle the powder onto your glue. A Little goes a long way. (I use three colors).
3. Mix it around with your finger or brush, but I like my finger so it doesn't leave brush strokes. You can also pounce the glue and Pearl Ex powder with a brush for a different texture. Be careful not to mix too much or your colors will get all muddy. Once it is mixed, heat it with your heat gun till it stops bubbling. Don’t overheat or it will scorch.
4. Punch or cut out your pieces to decorate your card and layer your pieces to complete the cards.
