My first try at heated pearls... I used Interference Blue and Gold Pearl Ex for the background. I also brushed gold Pearl Ex on the versamarked acorns on the left.

Here are the instructions for this technique:
On black glossy cardstock cut into fourths, spread out some glue to cover the piece with your fingers. I tried both Perfect Paper Adhesive (works great) and Aileen’s Tack it Over and Over (stays tacky--had to cover it with the PPA). The techniques I read also recommended Elmer’s glue, but I didn’t have any. Make sure the glue layer isn’t -too- thin, or else it’ll dry before you can get it to bubble. Then sprinkle very small amounts of Pearl Ex randomly over the glue, and re-moosh it around with your fingers till you’re more or less pleased with the color distribution. Heat with the heat gun until it bubbles, then let dry more if it needs it.
