I started with a Prima Build A Swirl stamp and Inkssentials Watermark Ink to stamp the umbrella. Next, I followed the stamped image and placed pearl drops along the design. I layered and punched Graphic45 Baby To Bride and Flights Of Fancy, and finished it off with flowers and brads. The final touch was a K and Co bee~ The trick to using the Liquid Pearls is to draw an imaginary circle as you stop squeezing and pull away from the surface, otherwise you may get a Hershey Kiss shape instead of a plump pearl.
Here is a tutorial to get you started.(I placed my pearls directly on the umbrella, but you can use a sheet of acetate too). http://www.swirlydoos.com/page.php?35

I LOVE Liquid Pearls! This card is fabulous! Another trick is to tap underneath your paper with a pencil or something similar. This will flatten your pearls so you don't get the Hershey Kiss effect. I'll have to check out this challenge.
