Perfect Pearls Distress

Typographic treatment of my name using the Perfect Distress Technique from Day 9 of Tim Holtz's Chemistry 101 online class. This tag on black cardstock was stamped with Distress embossing ink with some foam letter stamps. The lower case "n" is mounted crooked on the base but I decided it's just showing some "character" and so did not bother trying to straighten it. The butterfly was another attempt from Day 8's rock candy crackle on pre-cut cardboard shapes from Michaels.

All three of these tags used the Perfect Distress technique. The last tag on the right used the Perfect Distress Mist on the background as well. I didn't have any re-inkers to make a distress ink mist so just mixed PP Kiwi in water and sprayed after doing a wrinkle-free distress. Then I stamped the peacock feather with Distress markers direct from the stamp. The image didn't hardly take as the mica must have resisted it. So I drew over it with more markers, colored pencils and opaque paint markers. Then I added some more pearl bling. The middle tag used some foam letter stamps I have with Distress embossing ink. The butterfly was another attempt from Day 8's rock candy crackle.

Here's a close-up of the peacock feather stamp with not so much light reflecting on the iridescent shine of the mica powders. I mixed just PP Kiwi in water without any ink and sprayed after doing a wrinkle-free distress. Then I stamped the peacock feather with Distress markers direct from the stamp.
