I stamp with it. The iridescent look is beautiful!

I've used it with stamping and it looks really cool. Shimmery. I love it.

I stamp with it as well. Use Versamark and then brush the Perfect Pearls over it....beautiful look!

I played with them for a whole to get a good sense of what worked well.
And if you use dark paper - the look is amazing.

Do these need to be used with a heat gun? I don't have one and I've heard blow dryers don't work!

Just Google "perfect pearls video" and you'll find TONS of demos. I like to paint with it. Spritz a little water on your craft sheet, dip in a paintbrush, the dip the wet brush in the Perfect Pearls. Transfer this back to a drop of water on the sheet and mix it up a little-then paint away! Today, I gilded the edge of a mat and some flowers with Heirloom Gold. Stamped butterflies painted with Perfect Pearls are stunning.

If you want to see a whole lot of videos on techniques, just watch the inking class Jennifer McGuire did here a few years back.

Thinking & Inking class it was week 6, just scroll down a bit. This class is what got me hooked on perfect pearls, distress inks and stamping in general!!

I use them to make my own glimmer mists and to paint onto my air-dry clay jewelry. (I have a video on my blog and YouTube showing how to make air-dry clay beads, and I used PP on them.)
