 I received a box of goodies from the Stampin' Up company for a charitable group I work with, and one of the items they included in the box was two sets of the PearlX powder stuff.  I am not really sure what to do with this stuff.  Has anyone ever used this, and can you give me some techniques as to how I can use it.


Thanks,

 I just read on here the other day that you can make your own glimmer mist with it!

 I have lots of it and similar products, so I'm curious, too.  I use them in the vases that I paint (or used to paint, now I scrap lol!)  I would mix them with the paint to make it pearly and metallic.  I guess you can do the same thing with chipboard that you paint.

 pearlex can be used for many things.  I used them when i made my cards with versa mark.  stamp image with versa mark ink and take a brush and dip it in pearlex.  Brush the powder over the image.  Nice sparkle to it.  Also can be mixed with lumiere to make a paint for images and as someone else said can be mixed with paint.  check out www.splitcoaststampers.com.  I am pretty sure they have some samples with them.

 well you can use a perfect medium stamp pad on darker paper and it shows up gorgeous and shimmery, you just stamp your image and then with a blush poufy brush you dip it into the perfect pearls and swipe it across it...or like someone else said fill a spray bottle (sm one) 3/4 way up with water and a few drops of stamping ink and then a pinky nail amount of pearl ex and you'll have your own glimmer mist
