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.

  12. I keep seeing this new technique and it is so cool. I cant wait to pick up some paste and start on some new designs. Thank you for the tutorial. Its so much easier to try new products when you already know how to use them.

  13. Another one my five year old junior crafter loved. She loves blingy, shiny, sparkle. She loves Wink of Stella and she’s a lefty! I think we may try some pasty mixy stuff. I’m always afraid of breaking some unwritten craft rule. I need people like you to come along and blaze the trail! Thanks!
