Technique Tuesday: Coloring Pearls

Ever since I bought the Pretties Kit from Stampin' Up!, I have thought it was pretty, but haven't known what to do with it??? The kit comes with an assortment of un-colored items (the idea is that you can color the items to coordinate with your project)...fabric flowers, pearls, beads, crystal brads, etc. So I had heard that you can color the pearls using a mixture of Crystal Effects and a dot of ink from a Re-inker...I tried it and was very impressed with the result as you can see in my card above.
