B is for Brayered Pearl Backgrounds

Another brayered technique in the little booklet Trish B gave me was Brayered Pearl Background, very luscious, had to give it a try.

First make a mixture of Perfect Pearls and water (or if using PearlEx powder, add some gum arabic). Stipple this mixture on to glossy card stock.

Heat set, here I let the water move around making different designs of the Perfect Pearls.

Brayer over the top of the card with rainbow dye ink.

Did another with a mixture of gold and bronze Perfect Pearls.

This one has gold and yellow Perfect Pearls and a different rainbow pad.

Used a thick mixture of regular and purple Perfect Pearls.

Finally, grabbed a large sheet of glossy card stock and stippled on all the left over Perfect Pearl mixtures, heat set and brayered over.

I love having an assortment of backgrounds on hand.
