Mother of Pearl Technique

In the demonstrator magazine this month they featured an updated take on the Mother of Pearl technique.  Here’s a case of the card they did –


Pour a very small amount of Frost White shimmer ink onto a paper plate.  Wad up a piece of plastic wrap into a ball and pick up some of the ink.  Pounce it onto a piece of glossy white paper – leaving some white showing.  Let dry.  Now you can either sponge color over it or brayer color.  In the sample above I used a sponge.  Here’s a comparison with a brayer –



The brayered piece has a much deeper color.
