Tried Liquid Pearls?

I had not used Liquid Pearls until I made my submission for the Bella Creations April Technique Challenge. Our sponsor, Flying Unicorn, is offering a wonderful RAK for this challenge. I used the gorgeous G45 papers and lavendar Liquid Pearls from the Flying Unicorn Store to make a Springtime card~
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
