My first Blog card -PanPastels and Ranger Liquid Pearls

Card using PanPastels and Ranger Liquid Pearls
Hello and welcome to my Blog!
My first card to show you...........
I used PanPastels to create the background. I love white linen card. The pearls were used on a crafting mat to create my design. The stems and small leaves on them were straight from the bottle. The  flowers and leaves were a bit more involved using the tip of the bottle to move the liquid around the mat to create the desired effect. The more you "pull" the liquid the finer it is. By using a non-stick crafting mat you can correct mistakes without ruining your card! I am trying some other effects using the same method - to follow!

Leave overnight to dry
I use photo glue to affix my design onto the card. Put a small blob onto your mat. A palette knife and fine tweezers are helpful at this stage. Gently tease the pearls from the mat ready to stick on.
I use a cotton bud to draw a fine line of glue  - try to image the shape in glue as in the pearls. Place on the prepared card. You will have some time to tweak using your tweezers.

      Steady hand required! Have fun and give plenty of time to let your work dry well before lifting off the mat.( perhaps overnight?) Thank you for making a comment.
