You have great ideas - never would have thought to use Perfect Pearls this way. I loved the Christmas Ornaments and Embossing Folder the best. Not a fan of die cut flowers/images for any card because don''t like the white border it leaves.

My favourite is the stencilled circles one. Because the edges fade out, it makes it look like a sphere! Brilliant. My favourite way of using Perfect Pearls: I bought a Ranger paint palette and put some of the Perfect Pearls powder in each section, and very carefully (otherwise it goes everywhere!) dropped some water into each, and mixed them with a cocktail stick. They dry into a solid in each section of the palette, and you can use them like regular watercolour pans. This is much easier than putting some powder on your work surface and adding water. It’s also very easy to refill the pans as they get used up. I also created a square printed acetate (designed on my desktop publisher and printed out) which I stuck inside the lid of the box. Each printed circle lines up with a pan underneath, and has the name of the colour. Another favourite technique is to mix some Perfect Pearls with water in a mini-mister and you’ve got instant DIY glimmer mist! No need to set with water afterwards either. I’ve used Perfect Pearls for many years and absolutely love them. They are one of the most versatile products on the market and you can get so many different effects with them, as you use them in different ways. So much fun, and the results are always stunning!

My first time here, Simon. Wow,,, your explanations of the use of these products is so clear. It's not the usual stuff. I appreciate your extra efforts to explain why you are doing what you are doing----not just with the Perfect Pearl techniques, but with using the different brushes or the dome foam blending tool or why you choose the Versamark ink or use of water. Funny, I know, but I appreciate your explanations of why and how to keep your desk, etc. clean and unmessy. Yay! Great! I'm subscribing!

I recently asked a number of friends to give me their 4 fave colors in order, thinking I'd use the info for cards & other craft projects for them ... I mean, who doesn't appreciate a homemade card, esp when it features your fave colors, am I right? And these examples, especially the last one, will fit very nicely with that idea. Thanks for the great tips & demos! You're the best! btw, I laughed out loud at your serious look right at the camera, "Trust me, don't try this. Ask me how I know." In my mind's eye, I saw it all play out. But I laughed with you, not at you. ;-)

While I have Perfect Pearls, I prefer PearlEx. For whatever reason most card makers eschew fixatives, but I don’t mind adding a fixative to PearlEx. I also use epoxy & polymer clays, resin, and acrylic mediums. PearlEx plays well with all of those while the binder in Perfect Pearls sometimes has a funky reaction. One of my favorite techniques with mica powders is to mix it with a little acrylic glazing liquid. I then use it to color over solid black stamping. Like Simon said mica powders have more opacity than watercolors and dye inks so paint made with it have great coverage. I use this technique to add shimmer to holiday greetings almost every year. Also great for illuminated letters. My favorite card was the one with Christmas ornaments. I also liked the one made with the folk art embossing folder. I’d like to see that EF used with stamping foam.
