Oops no liquid pearls and I even had to look them up to see what they were. Some said glue, some said paint, both said pearlescent. So I tried both. Yes I actually "TRIED" the technique first on this ATC, which is a first - LOL.
As you can see my gold Cosmic Shimmer PVA worked a treat, so too the thick Pearl Dabber but my other pearlescent paint was a washout - far too runny. So you need something quite thick and tacky for this technique.
I learned that you need a FLAT surface to work on, so my right hand side worked well but the left hand side with all the bumps from the previous pages was a bit messy. Also, as this is a glue, that if you aren't quick enough it will stick the stencil to the page and lift/tear the paper - bother!
Oh and I also remembered that I had some brass stencils from way back from the beginning of my crafting adventure, possibly some 7yrs ago. The alphabet one came in very handy today.

Well if that were true you would be a millionare selling your secrets for looking so young!
Your journal looks good. The gold is definitely the best.
Fab page sweetie, loving the technique you have demonstrated so beautifully. Tee hee, another one to go on my 'must try' list.

Hi thanks for stopping by -great cards &how cute is that wheelie bin! You asked how I store my stencils & masks -well I put them into poly pockets in a 4 ring binder. Very easy to flip through & choose one that you like. Sounds like you had a fun sticky time making your page! I love getting messy!
Great pages! Way to go with the technique, love how it turned out!
