Color blocking becomes sophisticated with Pearl-Ex. Easy application

much fun as watching Morgan and Wyatt play in the leaves!

| Instructions |
| 1. |
Arrange photos and expression stickers on cardstock and mark fold lines. Remove photos and fold accordingly. Sponge one area with VersaMark ink (direct from pad) and apply one color of Pearl-Ex pigments with paintbrush or sponge, (if sponging, mask off surrounding area with paper). Repeat VersaMark/Pearl-Ex applications until entire surface is colorized.
|
| 2. |
Fold back each crease and brush with black pigment ink pad. Brush all outside edges as well. Pick up ink with crumpled tissue and randomly "rag-on" black ink all over page. Rub and buff ink into colored paper (this tones down the intensity of the powders and gives the page an antiqued look).
|
| 3. |
Affix sticker expressions to ecru vellum and trim off excess. Affix leaf stickers around edges and trim off excess, using half on one sticker and half on another. Affix whole leaf stickers to ecru vellum and trim vellum. Using VersaMark pen, paint Pearl Ex colors into leaf cells (clean tip after each change of color). Computer generate journaling and print on vellum. Trim to size and add partial leaf stickers. Affix (with spray adhesive) photos and vellum onto color blocks as shown.
