Rustica Ornaments
with Pearl Ex Stamp Pads

Pearl Ex Stamp Pads will add beautifully subtle metallic highlights to your holiday ornaments! It's easy, simply rub it or stamp it using a variety of items. I've used crinkled cellophane, a rubber stamp and even a pencil eraser!

My star was highlighted with the Red/Gold Duo Pearl Ex Stamp Pad. I just brushed the stamp pad directly against the ornament!

My holiday tree has a background of Blue/Gold Duo Stamp Pad that is applied by using a piece of crinkled cellophane like a stamp. This makes a lovely random texture of metallic highlights. My "ornaments" are Copper and Gold Pearl Ex Stamp Pad applied to the top of a new pencil eraser and used as the round stamp image.

Once the ink has dried the ornaments are ready to hang! If you like, you can heat set the ink to add a more sparkling effect.

My round ornament has the Copper Pearl Ex Stamp pad brushed all around the edges of the ornament and a stylized border
stamped in Copper across the center.
