Cut black glossy paper to the size of the image you are going to stamp. Squeeze a dallop of white glue in the middle, IPerfect Paper Adhesive. I was told you don't have to use an expensive glue and white school glue would do. I used take a stipple brush and stipple all over the glossy. Take your Perfect pearls in color choices you are going to use. I used True blue, ,Red Russet, white, and gold. Load up a dusting brush with one color at a time. You don't need to clean the dusting brush after each color. Just shake over the cardstock, small amounts at first you can add more later if you want. I started with the blue, ruby, white and gold in that order. I don't know if it really makes a difference but that is what I did. After all colors have been added take your heat tool and hold over the glossy and heat until you see the glue bubble. This will set the pearls. Then you can ink up the image of choice with Versamark and stamp over the preals. Emboss and heat again. I used black but I am sure other colors of emboss would be fantastic.
Hope you will try this if you haven't already and lets play show and tell.
