I really don't remember how it happened, but most probably was a mistake, and I have tried this several ways, and it comes out beautifully. Now in theory, working with a permanent, waterproof ink like Black Archival, that dries fast, you shouldn't be able to add anything like Perfect Pearls to the surface after it has dried. That's exactly what I thought, but I had sprayed the surface with Ranger's Color Wash first, and there's the rub, or in this case, Perfect Pearls! I have discovered that if you can dust Perfect pearls powder , onto a stamped image even after it has dried!! Now I know you can do this with other wet type inks, don't get me wrong, but I almost always use Black Archival in everything I stamp ( old habits die hard!).
The trick is to have the Color Wash underneath your stamped image, so will it work with other permanent inks? yes it does! This tag is with the new butterfly from Crafty Notions, Color Wash, Black Archival and the saying which comes from one of Tim's new stamp sets.
If you are careful you can colour up each letter, and it doesn't stick to the Colorwash! Please excuse the photos as the Perfect Pearls is very hard to photograph, as it reflects the light. I have lots of ideas for this technique, and my mind is spinning with them....off to try them.....Be Creative!

Oh my, what a great find - you genius!
Interesting techniques and effects !
I think I should take credit for this - if I had been a good student and hadnt distracted you from your teaching you would have had time to demonstrate properly and wouldn't have thought of doing this... LOL - just kidding - you were playing and this is what happens when you play - glad it repeated itself later...
Ooo! Missey Clever Clogs! Having finished my collection of colour washes and rediscovering them I shall have a play tomorrow with your new found theory. Thanks!
Very pretty and the perfect pearls never looked so good :)
