@mathoceti Thank you!

lovely... that is one of MY favorite stamps, I use it all the time. ;) Thanks for this tutorial... helped a lot for another use of Pearl Ex. YAY! Also, helpful about the light and dark card stock info. THANK YOU! Would you mind telling me what kind of paper you were using please, especially the black. I'd appreciate it.

@babyblueagle1 Hello. Glad you found the video helpful. Sorry, I do not remember what kind of paper I used for the black. Probably just some standard black card stock.

Thank you for sharing this. I just invested in my first set of rubber stamping supplies and picked up some Pearl Ex pigments. They were not what I expected, and found myself dumbfounded on how to use them. I really appreciated your tutorial. Thanks again!

@ChiKitty24 Thank you. Pearlex do require some experimentation and practice, but you can create some lovely results using them. Have fun with yours.

Thanks so much for this video. I couldn't figure out how to keep them from smearing as I sit here late at night making my Christmas cards. Who would have thought hairspray of all things! What kind of spray should I use on scrapbook pages though?

[nightcats]

@KristiKaye1 Hairspray is fine for a project that is not intended to last for generations, but If you are using your Pearlex images in a scrapbook, I would forego hairspray and purchase a commercial product that seals. Hairspray can yellow with age, and I have no idea whether or not it is archival. Good luck with your projects!

Very informative, thank you for taking the time to post this video! I've also heard that you can mix your pearl ex with your embossing powder! I have yet to try it, though.

[nightcats]

@s0lid0nyx Yes, I have heard that too. I haven't tried but I believe it would work. Thanks for posting.

this is a great video. I bought pearl ex a while ago but have been afraid :-( to use it!

one question please, do you use regular white card stock or glossy card stock?

[nightcats]

@graceforever12 You can use either one. If you use glossy, keep in mind that the watermark ink will take longer to dry so you might want to let it sit for a bit before applying the Pearlex. Otherwise you will have a blurry mess.

The pearl ex on black looks amazing! I wonder if you were to heat the image after using the pearl ex powder whether it would give it a more glossed over embossed effect, or whether you would ruin it. I'll have to do some experiments.

[nightcats]

I'm guessing the Pearl Ex wouldn't take to heat embossing, but I have never tried. Please let us know how your experiment works out.

um if u dont mind :[ um how old r u not trying 2 be mean... you seem nice :] :)

[nightcats]

Oh my goodness, DaNoodles, one should never ask a lady her age. Ask your mom about this and she'll tell you. the same thing :-)

[untraveled]

Thanks for the demo. I bought pearl ex for another project and thanks to this video I know how to use it with my stamps too!

[nightcats]

Glad you found it helpful. Pearl Ex is a versatile product with many uses. I hope to do some more experimenting soon.

herewegocaps left a comment and my apologies but ai accidentally removed it instead of clicking on the respond button. herewegocaps said, 'How do you get the Pearl Ex to show the stamp?" As the video shows, you use watermark ink such as Versamark to do the stamping. Then you brush with Pearl Ex to get the color.

Well, Happy Birthday in advance. I expect you'll receive plenty of nice cards and gifts.
