You'll find my updated ATC Techniques List on a separate page at the top of my page directly under my banner, "ATC Technique List - Current & Previous".
Several companies make the Dimensional Pearl Paints in the bottles with the pointy dispenser tip, the ones I have are Ranger Liquid Pearls, Nuvo Drops and Decor Pearl Pens (also called Perlen Pens). They are all similar in that they can make small pearl accents in drops on your cards, atc's or journal pages. In fact, the Decor Pearl Pens can also be used on fabric as they are washable! For this class I have used them in a few different ways, smooshing them, scraping them with a credit card, the usual way of adding dots and also accenting stamped images with them. I think a lot of people when first getting these pens just start out with gold, silver, black and maybe copper. But there are so many other gorgeous colours available and they are reasonably cheap so you can increase your stash and you don't just need to do dots with them, as my samples show. If I had to pick just one though, it'd have to be the Silver Chrome from the Decor Pearl Pen range, just beautiful!

Pearl Pen accents)
"New beginnings"

with the Pearl Pens in 3 colours)
"I don't care"
(The usual dot technique that all of these pens
are made for)
"Lookin' sharp!"
(I used the Pearl Pens to accent areas of
the stamped images)
"Find Joy"
(Another example of a smooshed background)
This is a card I made using an atc sized black piece of card with the smoosh technique on it, but also added some further accents to create some wildflowers. The colours show up equally well on black as well as white backgrounds.
