Easy handmade pearl flourishes

Today's post is an easy tip to making your own pearl paint flourishes. I simply use a flourish stamp and a watermark ink pad, stamp the design and then use it as a guide to follow along with pearl paint. Ranger liquid pearls or usually any fabric paint will work - just test the brand on a scrap to ensure it doesn't bleed, I have heard some brands can (but it has never happened to me before). You can also gently tap the underside of the paper to flatten the paint dots if you want rounded "pearls" without peaks. So fast and easy! 

Here is an example of a flourish I made with gold liquid pearls on a recent layout. I just freehand extended it a little bit.

Here is the entire layout. I find it adds that special sparkle and leaves more scrappy budget for other things.

I use my Inkadinkado Dot Flourishes set that I got at a Michael's Craft Store because the lines are really thin. The watermark image appears no wider or darker than the adhesive strip you get with bought flourishes.

Hope you a a great scrappy week!
