I brought some white gum paste roses and would like to do more than just dusting them with pearl dust. I would like to use petal dust, sparkle dust and luster dust the problem I'm having is i really don't know how to use them. Do I add liquid or just brush them on dry or how much liquid to add to the dust they are expensive and i would hate to waste it so please help if you can.

You could do either. It depends on the look you are going after. For example brushing on pearl dust will make a white bow look like satin. Using the dust to paint will give you a more intense color. Just miz dust with a few drops of alcohol until it is like a liquid paint. Enjoy and use your imagination!
