I had a request some weeks ago for the Polished Stone technique, and I found this lovely idea on the net – rather than using it as a background, to die cut the Polished Stone into shapes to be used as embellishments.
These leaves were perfect.
To do Polished Stone, you need glossy cardstock, ispopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol from the chemist), and ink refills. We also used a spray of the Gold and Silver Shimmer spray on top.
Wet a cotton ball with the reinkers (3-4 colors) and dab in the alcohol. Then dab or wipe all over the cardstock until you have the look you want. You can even spray the cardstock with alcohol to make the colors blend even more if you wish.
This is a simple layout card, but a great one to feature a striking technique like this one.
