The BG on this card is one I 'learned' from Technique Junkie. It makes a beautiful, metallic BG to be stamped on or to be used to highlight almost anything. Just use your imagination. Here's how it goes.
This can be a bit messy so feel free to use gloves. Choose 3 complimentary colours of Perfect Pearls (PP's) and open them. I then sprayed a large piece of Black CS with the liquid starch (don't use an aerosol can) making sure it is wet, then I used a different finger for each of the PP's and dipped my finger into each pot. I then 'drummed' them on the wet CS, re-applying the PP's as needed and re-spraying with starch if the CS became too dry to have the PP's move around. When you are happy with the way the colours look, put it aside to dry, it takes about 30 minutes.
To make the card I stamped the Tiger on the Drummed Pearls BG with Versamark ink and embossed it with Black EP. Then I mounted it on Black CS and set an eyelet in each corner. I cut a strip of Drummed Pearls BG and stuck it to the middle of a piece of Black CS and then to the Mustard base card. Finally I used the foam mounting tape to stick the Tiger to the RHS.
