I'm with you Connie! I think I even sped up the video because it was taking a long time just to watch her sprinkle perfect pearls with a qtip. So no, I didn't try it!
I did finally use pp through a stencil. First I tried using a Spellbinders impressability as a mask. It was too detailed I think, and I used white paper so I wasn't that happy with it. I ended up painting over it with the remaining pearls on my craft sheet and you can still see some of the masked paisley design through it so it may be usable some day ...
For my next attempt I found a bright pink watercolor paper I had made a while back when practicing washes. I cut it to ATC size and used a new ATC stencil over it. I used Versamark ink direct to paper through the stencil and pounced with gold perfect pearls. I like it! It isn't a finished ATC yet.
The ATC background on the left was covered in Versamark (tried to print with the perfect pearls left on my stencil, and hoped if I covered the surface in Versamark, it might grab the pearls ... not so much). Next I spritzed with water and dabbed with a paper towel, lightening the open areas. Then I decided to play with shimmer in another form so I sprayed Lindy's Stamp Gang Glitz Spritz in Desert Moon Endless Sky (blue) through the stencil. The ATC background on the right was made with gold perfect pearls as described above.
