Frosted Pearl Background

The other night I was looking for inspiration for one more project for my Saturday's workshop and I came across this beautiful card which I totally CASED!  I told the girls it was a Faux  Mother of Pearl, where I got that I have no idea since I looked back at the original post for this and it's called Frosted Pearl!  Guess I need to read slower!  haha!

So, may I present, Frosted Pearl Background Technique as discovered through Angie Leach, who received it from one of her team members, Kathe Madsen.  The second photo shows the detail a bit better.  It is even more beautiful in real life.

I think most of the girls were planning to make this their Mother's Day cards for their special Mom's.

 

Here's how you achieve this beautiful background.

• Pour a bit of Frost White Shimmer Paint onto a plastic tray or paper plate.
• Scrunch up some plastic wrap, keep it loose for a nice design.  Dab it into the paint picking up just a bit.  Stamp it off on to the side of the tray to be sure you don't have too much.  You just want a light coating.
• Gently dab onto Whisper White card stock until it is covered the way you want it to look.
• Let it dry and stamp your flowers or design on top.

For the card above:

Thank you for looking in today.  Tomorrow I'll post the other cute card we made at this weekend's workshop.  Thank you to Barbie for a wonderful workshop!  It was so much fun with so much great food!
