Stunning and a great reminder to dig out forgotten products like perfect pearls.

[@conniewoldstad9942]

Those are just gorgeous. Thank you for reminding us about the perfect pearls.

I didn’t realize you could do it without heating it. Beautiful

[@josimons9765]

I did mist my card with some water off camera just to "set" the mica powder

[@kkrolf2782]

@@josimons9765From what I understand, the embossing powders n e e d to be heated as they are actually minuscule bits of PLASTIC. That’s why they get shiny when heated. Perfect Pearls, however, or SHINY EYE SHADOW (😉), again from what I’ve come to understand, are colored mica powders, so they get their shine from their mineral component. It does pay to “set” the mica powders, though, with a non-sticky hair spray or just water. Enjoy!

[@josimons9765]

yep totally correct. I did set my powder with some water off screen:) Im off to raid my daughters eye shadow stash!

Beautiful! Does the perfect pearls need to be sealed with anything?

[@josimons9765]

thank you. I did just give my cardstock a mist of water to seal the powder. :)

[@thelmahall2593]

ive never seen pigment powder before! ty for sharing

[@josimons9765]

[@Noniof3]

Very classy looking. Do you have to heat set or spray with fixative afterwards?

[@josimons9765]

thank you. Yes I did just give it a mist of water to "set" the powder

[@andreah993]

So you're actually using perfect pearls and not embossing powder?

[@kkrolf2782]

(( Yup … that’s what she used. You can also use eye shadow from your makeup stash. Just remember to mist your final result with water or a fixative of some kind. A non-tacky hairspray would work, but it’s been so long since I used hairspray that I’m not sure if they still make that kind! )).
