<\/p>\nHey crafty peoples,<\/p>\n
It has been too long since posts, but I have been having MAJOR issues with trying to get some decent photos, it has been so frustrating!! Anyway, this is the best I could come up with…I really need to purchase some more photography gear!<\/p>\n
Once again I have been inking up my Hero Arts Decorative Ornaments stamp and I am loving it!! These cards are pretty simple and there is a reason for this as these are going to be my Christmas cards this year and mass production needs to be done quickly and efficiently!<\/p>\n
I inked up the stamp with several different inks (similar tones) and then gave the stamp a good spritz with perfect pearls in water\u00a0 before stamping. Once stamped, I hit it with the heat gun to dry it quickly. I love how it has given the image a watery look. In real life the perfect pearls are really shimmery, but hard to capture this in the photos. The background stamp is an Impress stamp that I inked up with 3 different shades of green, spritzed with perfect pearls in water and then dabbed with a tissue before stamping to get a blotchy effect. I added a sentiment, some ribbon and pearls and voila!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This photo captures some of the perfect pearls a bit, but it looks better in real life.<\/p>\n

And I experimented with different colours, but I think the pink colours are my favourite. I also did a blue one.<\/p>\n
