Liquid Pearl LO - by Moon - Jenn


Last day of November - where did this month go???  Tomorrow is December and as a Design Team, we have some fun things in store for you!  Until then, here's a layout done by Moon using a "new to us" product - Liquid Pearls.  Enjoy!



Supplies Used:
-       MME paper (So Sophie - Charming),
-       MME Charming brads, Fiber
-       Imaginese Geek is Chic stamp
-       Ranger liquid pearls
-       Martha Stewart edge punch
-       Ranger ink


I started the project with the MME base paper, and inked the edges.  
I inked the title (from the set) and trimmed the blue dotted paper (also MME Charming) down to size, and inked it.  
Then I trimmed the paper I matted the picture with down, and inked that as well.
I stamped "Geek is Chic" onto a piece of the paper I used to mat the photo.  
I glued to matted phot to the blue paper, and then put 3 brads down the side of it.  
I glued this to the base, and glues the Geek is Chic over it.  
I wrapped fiber around the title for some dimension, and glued that to the project.  
I then used Ranger Liquid pearls to accent the work.  I added 3 drops to the title, 7 on each corner to make it look like a corner, and 3 more after Geek is chic.  Make sure to tap the paper after applying the liquid pearls, so they round out nicely, and lose the little pointy piece.  You can see why tapping is important by watching the video I made on this technique.

  1. Thank you so much for this! I have been hesitant about using my liquid pearls for fear that I would mess up.

  2. I'm so glad you shared this! I have used a lot of paints like this (more for fabric but starting to play with using it on paper) and could never figure out how to get the points to round out. Thanks!

  3. Awesome! I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the points without actually touching them!

  6. Flicking the back of the paper also works really well for rounding the drops out
