Another card for today's featured stamper challenge. Stamp Muse has so many wonderful cards in her gallery, it's hard to narrow it down. I was inspired to get out my Pearl Ex powders after seeing this card: Pearl Ex Mums by Stamp Muse at Splitcoaststampers
I love the shimmer and glitz of her cards, so I actually changed only the two required elements. I changed the color from gold to copper, and I changed the iamge from mums to this medallion from Bo Bunny. The card measures 4 1/4 square. The angle in the photo is a little funky but I wanted the photo to show the shimmer of the Pearl Ex powders. The sentiment blurred just a bit when I tried to remove some of the excess powder. I will have to play with a popped up layer or something to fix that.
Thanks for taking a closer look.

Lynnor, it NEVER occurred to me to use Pearl Ex with a medallion stamp and look how gorgeous the results are! You are on a roll today, girl! Keep 'em coming! Eye candy at it's best. Thanks so much for playing again!

When I r ealized what DMM had done with pearl ex, I immediately went out and bought it. To this date, I have not figured out how to use them. But you, my friend, have and beautifully I might add. Love those colors and that asian image. Beautiful card.

Beautiful! I have all kinds of pearlex and haven't used it. Not quite sure why I am so intimidated! Your card inspired me to go find them again! TFS!
