For this project, I was really just trying to share a technique I saw demonstrated at the CHA show this summer. I loved the effect of the re inkers and perfect pearls. It has a sparkle to it, you just can't see it to well in these pictures. I also like this because it used many of the supplies I already had and gave me a new way to use re inkers and perfect pearls. You can play for hours just mixing up your own color combinations! As is the nature of spray inks, they are messy, so if you don't have a kraft sheet make sure you have newspaper or even a shallow box you can spray in.
