You guys can be sooo persuasive! All these calls of 'Show us' and 'Share' ... and who am I to argue?
After giving the matter some considerable thought I felt it would be totally wrong just to blog every tag I made at Ranger U and tell you the technique ... after all that is someone else's hard work and you guys may want to go to Ranger U yourselves and would n't it be awful if I trashed the surprise! So ... anyways ... I got to thinking about what I did learn and actually one of the things is to re-visit older techniques from time to time ... you know the ones ... the ones that you tried ... once ... way back when and have n't tried again since!
So this is one of those techniques that I had completely forgotten about! But I did it at Ranger U too ... so everyone is happy :0) At least I hope they are :0)
Basically I have embossed with Ranger Clear embossing powder on black card. Plonked my wet brush into the metallic perfect pearls ... one at a time of course ... and mixed them up on my craft sheet to make a fluid paint
I have used the Paper Artsy flourish ... THE Wendy Vecchi's Studio 490 stamps and some of Lord Tim of Holtz's Idea-ology! You know Tim ... the man that could play seventy odd sets of tennis on an hourly basis while compiling money saving budgets for the entire UK's civil service with just a blob of Black Enamel Accents and an edge distresser!
I have had a fab day ... playing and teaching a class in Olney ... we made a Christmas screen so we had crackers and Christmas music ... it was tops!
Laters!

Well you've taught me something new Linda. I did know about clear emboss resist but had never thought about using it with perfect pearls of which I have quite a few. Must definitely give this a go and the effect is stunning.
I finished the three canvas wall hanging we (almost) made in the workshop before you went to Ranger U and hope to blog it this weekend. I'm really chuffed with it.

fandabbydozy! must start to view your blog again regularly, in fact all blogs I follow ;o)
I don't have any PP (well one I got with the book) but I can't getthis effect with one colour! ha ha I think it look very wonderful though with yr fave flower & Butterflys

Looks lush in the pic, and I can imagine even more so in real life! Love those Perfect Pearls, and not just to use in the mini mister! lol Fab piece Linda, I'm sure it was great inspiration at Ranger U, the ideas are flowing strong, eh?
Oooooh!! Fantabulous!
Missing you and your wonderful smile, wit and laugh! Glad I get to see your art here ;). Loving that!
I'm doing my sing-song "Gorgeous!"
Love it to pieces!

When I turn on my computer and see a post from you, I know it's gong to be a cracker - and this does not disappoint!!! I am deffo going to try this.
Brilliant work Linda hope you are keeping well xx
Hiya I love your work in Craft Stamper xxx If you ever fancy sharing your work over on our blog www.fiskarettes.co.uk it would be a pleasure to see for Fiskarettes i'm sure x
After seeing your gorgeous piece I'm beginning to regret giving all my perfect pearls away because I never used them... BAH! or should that be DOH! Love the layout too. Looking forward to next weeks class with a certified Ranger Educator... oh right, that's you!
now that is seriously lush
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous love the colours must dig out those perfect pearls I've hardly used. xChrisB
Just gorgeous Linda. Your Tim descriptions always make me laugh - this one is a cracker - does he know about them? I am sure he would really laugh too!
I am near to finishing the hanging we made with you on our mini retreat - cut out the leaves last night and just three more roses to go and the chain and I'm there. Thanks again for such a gorgeous project - you've started me off on coloured lace now!!
