Pigment Powders and Embossing Paste!
Hi everyone, welcome back to the blog! It’s Shari here with a quick technique for you.
I’ve been experimenting with adding iridescent pigment powders (Perfect Pearls) to some Viva Decor black modeling creme. From the front view, the paste looks normal and black.
But when it catches light, the colors come out. Below it looks like a teal green or almost purple, I can’t even describe it. But it’s super COOL!
I’ve shot a video of how I mixed the powder and paste and a peek at how the card came together. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel.

Thanks for stopping by today, hope you have a chance to try out mixing some of your pigment powders into your pastes. Go ahead and try other color pastes too!

I have been using perfect pearls for several years because of the beautiful effect. I have not tried to mix it with paste yet. Will be doing this soon.
Beautiful card, thanks for video and tips to stretch supplies, love that black iridescent paste you made!
I cannot wait to try this technique! What a wonderful way to use black!
what a good idea to mix modeling paste and perfect pearls. I want to try it!

Great card and technique! ;-)
Love this technique to get an iridescent look to black texture paste. Thank you for sharing your project and the great instructional video.
I just got some black embossing paste. I will have to try this (with my unused Perfect Pearl stash!).
I have the supplies. Just need to sit down and use them.
thanks for the tips.
How clever!!! This is stunning! Thanks for the inspiration.
Great idea – I will have to try this!
Beautiful technique! I love the tone on tone.
This is a technique I never would have thought of. The card is gorgeous. I love every element of it.
I just posted a card to my Instagram using Simon stamps, dies and stencil with embossing paste as a background! Now I want to try perfect pearls
Cool! Gotta try that!!
Love this fab idea, Shari! Such cool results! ♥
Cool effect! Thanks for the tip!
Fabulous idea! I have never thought to combine these. Thanks for the tip. Hugs, Robin
Such a simply elegant card. I love the idea of combining these two and the effect you achieved is awesome.
Gorgeous! I haven’t tried adding pigment powders, but obviously I need to, so cool!
My perfect Pearls have been “sleeping” for a while, thanks Shari for sharing this cool technique! I only have white embossing paste but I can make so many different colors with my PP, it’s exciting!
This would be so lovely using clear paste and a blue for rain! I must do some experimenting. Thanks for the great tip!
I love the card
I love this!! Saw your video too!! Very nice technique

I love how this looks. What a great technique. Nice design on your card. Thank you for sharing.
Embossing paste? Interesting! Never heard of it before! How curious! LOVE this card! So classy!
Do not know why I never thought of using Perfect Pearls in my texture pastes as I put all sorts of other colourants. Love the idea so much that I am going to try it now. Shari, your card is outstanding. I would love to do something similar to that thank you for sharing…
have added glitter before but never perfect pearl, which probably looks cool on transparent paste as well if you use a colored powder….must go try.thanks for sharing
Such a fabulous idea, love it!!!
What a GREAT idea!!! Will be giving it a try today:) Thanks
Beautiful! TFS Shari!
This is so neat!!
I’m going to have to give this a try. Love the way yours turned out. Thanks for the inspiration.
How great! Thanks for this technique
cool technique!
That black on the matte is awesome. Adding to my ever growing wish list!
Love this technique–have to add some pearl powders to embossing paste and give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration!
Just may have to purchase some black paste!
AWESOME! I will definitely try this! Thanks so much for sharing your experiments!
Wow! Another interesting technique to try!
Thanks for this idea! I use paste a lot and hadn’t thought to use the Pearls in it. Love the black on gray, I am so going to give it a try!
That looks awesome! I love iridescent powders and pasts :)
First of all, the card is chic and elegant and very pretty and the stencil is a must have. I do have a lot of Perfect Pearls and I will definitely be trying this method very soon. I always learn so many new things on your website and also from Jennifer McGuire.
Wow, what an amazing card! Thanks for sharing.
Always looking for new ways to use my Perfect Pearls. Thank you for the awesome idea!
What an interesting product!
