Shiny Cupcake Flowers

I've had the BEST time playing with and discovering FUN ways to

use the Teresa Collins Pearlz.  An idea popped in my head while
strolling through the aisles of Hobby Lobby.
Then back at home...
I got all the necessary items I'd need together for my
idea of shiny cupcake flowers:

and went to town creating:

I laid out the cupcake holders and cinched them together
by using my Tim Holtz tiny attacher (a mini stapler)
One cupcake flower I did using 2 holders.
The other flower was just a single holder
that I punched holes around (just for added dimension).
Next I barely sprayed Ruby Spritz and dried using
my  heat gun.

Then I painted Ballet Slipper Pearlz on both
and also dried using my heat gun.
The last step to my flowers was to put a center in them
and glue them to my layout:

On my layout I also used red heart doilies I found.
One one I left solid red, the other I painted using
Ballet Slipper Pearlz.

And I also added the Ballet Slipper around the edge of my photo
as a frame. I LOVE doing this. Really adds great texture
to photo's!
On my matte, I used Tim Holtz Grungeboard
that  I first sprayed with Ruby Spritz, let dry..
next with Bed of Roses Spritz, let it dry...
and topped with Ballet Slipper.
I added Grey Flannet Pearlz around
the edges of the grungeboard.
It's REALLY shiny and gorgeous!
Pearlz makes a statement.

I love how this layout turned out.
I hope you are enjoying the new Pearlz release!
They are GORGEOUS and SO FUN to work with!!
Have a wonderful day!
Thank you for letting me share with you today...
