stamps (Asian script, large butterfly)

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. Stamp Asian script on black cardstock with Perfect Medium. Dust stamped images with a variety of colors of Perfect Pearls, using the small brush. Use the large brush to brush of excess powder.

Step 2. Apply Perfect Medium to the surface of a strip of blue cardstock. You can use a paper towel to apply the Perfect Medium or use a direct to paper method and then blend Perfect Medium with paper towel.

Step 3. Apply Perfect Pearls to the entire surface of the inked paper using the same variety of colors.

Step 4. Load butterfly stamp with Perfect Medium and then stamp onto the Perfect Pearls paper. The image will “lift” off. Clean the stamp after each use so you’ll get a good lifted image. Mist with water to set the pigments. Tear along edges and attach to page.
