If you visit my blog frequently, then you might have noticed that I have been on a bit of a Perfect Pearls kick lately. If you are unfamiliar with Perfect Pearls, it is a pigment powder that has metallic sheen to it. It can be used in a variety of ways, but my personal favorite it just brushing it over a stamped image. I am excited to show you a few projects that incorporate this fun and easy technique!
Here are some still shots of today's projects!
If you are joining along this week, here are the details concerning the Make It Monday Challenge.

Good luck to everyone and we look forward to seeing your projects!
EDITED TO ADD: Many people of been asking about "setting" the Perfect Pearls after brushing them onto your stamped images. I have found that once the VersaMark ink dries, the Perfect Pearls have set fairly well. However, if there will be a lot of direct contact with your project, you might want to take extra precaution by sealing it with a very light coating of hairspray! Hope that helps!
