We don't have no Hobby Lobby here.

Check them out on-line, AQ. I have never bought on-line, so I don't know if they have the same sales. I think you can also use the coupon on one item.

Sorry Ladies, I forgot to post this yesterday.

My local Kroger/ Fred Meyer superstore has Pearl Ex on clearance. They are little bottles that retailed at $3.00, marked down to $2.07 with 50% off = $1.04 each. You might want to check out your local store to see what they have. I got 5 & know Santa will be putting more in my stocking.

I went to my Freddies the other day and they've discontinued the Pearl Ex. I was bummed.

BUT...yesterday I went to the dollar store and found the perfect item for doling out Pearl Ex (better than having it puke all over the place from the bottle!): plastic baby spoons - 12 for $1.10 (after tax).

I've mixed Pearl Ex with 3D CL before and that was rather fun. So this time, I decided to mix Pearl Ex with Premium Gesso and apply it on metal tape and then emboss it after the Gesso dried overnight. Here are the results:

Wow! How cool is that!!
Thanks for teaching us something new, AQ.

[TheAfricanQueen]

Thank you Deb. It has become one of my favorites.

AQ, do you mind posting this same card and technique on the Gesso thread? Thanks so much. That way people can find it by either ingredient.
