Perfect Pearl Village
This card is for Hero Arts November challenge (inking theme) and for Holiday Thinking Inking week 7 (Perfect Pearls), project 1 (pearlarized painting). It is possibly the most shimmery card I have ever made. Everything is Perfect Pearled. The houses were clear embossed on watercolour paper and coloured with distress inks, Perfect Pearl and water. The snow is Liquid Pearls (white opal), and the door handles are black Enamel Accents. The door of the middle house opens and I stamped a bauble on the inside. The background was made with Chipped Sapphire and some Perfect Pearls. The splattered with more Perfect Pearls to create snow and stamped with Chipped Sapphire. The stars were made by adding a little pool of thick Sunflower Sparkle and water and dragging out the tips with the end of a paint brush. Another piece of watercolour paper was dry embossed and then painted with a concentrated mix of Perfect pearls and water to make the snow on the ground. The front snow piece is attached with foam dots. TFL!!
Supplies: Hero Arts stamps: Sending Holiday Cheer (CL464), Merry Christmas Trees (CL459); Distress inks: fired brick, aged mahogany, bundled sage, peeled paint, forest moss, scattered straw, brushed corduroy, chipped sapphire; Perfect Pearls: perfect pearls, sunflower sparkle; White Opal Liquid Pearls; Tim Holtz Sizziz embossing folder; watercolour paper.
