2017 Topic 15: Pearlescent Autumn Clark is back today to share a lovely blog post making pearly backgrounds. She has opted to create some painterly combinations using metallic shades with Opaques to create bespoke pearlescent paints - very interesting! Hello PaperArtsy Blog followers, it's Autumn Clark here, sharing with you a post on faux mother of pearl backgrounds. What a great challenge to experiment with this old, beloved stamping technique once again. As a true Southern American girl, the love of pearly things is part of my heritage! As a lover of stamping, making backgrounds is a favorite pastime. I was curious to see how combining Fresco Chalk Acrylic Paint (White Fire) and (Pewter) would work for my pearly background. I pounced plastic cling wrap into my paints then lightly tapped my Smoothy card, air drying between colors. I gave the card a light sponging of Antique Linen and Milled Lavender Distress Inks to create a slight color variation and aging. I stamped my sentiment in Dusty Concord and then clear embossed. The embossing powder clung to the paints and created such a beautiful effect, however so hard to capture on photograph. I knew background stamping with the PaperArtsy E³ {Sara Naumann} from the Eclectica³ Collection (ESN17) would make a lovely frame for this panel. Eclectica³ {Sara Naumann} Set 17 My plum palette was inspired by the latest home décor color trends. I applied Fresco Chalk Acrylic Paint (Amethyst) to an MDF photo frame, then tapped my Versmark ink pad onto the frame and covered with chunky purple embossing powder and heated. I then stamped my leaves in gold pigment ink and heat set a second time to make a permanent finish. The undercoat of paint shows through in areas, creating a lovely variegated effect. To complete my gift set, I made a coordinating card. I whipped up an inky background with Distress Ink and added more gold stamping. This time stamping my sentiment onto plain Smoothy card, but layering with a sheet of mica. I couldn’t resist adding my favorite Christmas angel from the PaperArtsy {Lynne Perrella} Collection (LPC018) onto another pearly panel. Lynne Perrella Collection: Set 18 The result was like a marble carving! The mica complimented the faux mother of pearl background perfectly. A few hole-less mother of pearl buttons brought it all together. This was truly a delightful experience, both creating such a rich background effect with the Fresco Chalk Acrylic Paints and also over-stamping these lovely leaves onto embossing powder. I hope you will give this a go and find the techniques to be as equally rewarding. Why not make up some Christmas gift sets of your own? Your loved ones will thank you!
