I have for you today a card I made using the Polished Stone Technique with a twist! The method used for this card is easier and faster than the normal Polish Stone Technique. You can view this POST for instructions on the normal Polish Stone Technique.
1 Peter 2:9
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
I suspect most crafters have tried the Polished Stone Technique. However, this is my first time although the technique has been around for some time. Polished Stone is a rich background technique that looks like rich marble. It is an excellent background for both feminine and masculine cards.
After looking closely at the above picture, can you tell that I left out one key product that most, but not all, crafters use for the Polished Stone Technique? It is the metallic ink. I have seen examples of this technique where the metallic ink was used and examples where it was not used. Well, I left it out because I did not have any metallic ink. However, I’ll provide you with the instructions that include the ink.
SUPPLIES USED FOR THE POLISHED STONE TECHNIQUE:
Paper: Glossy White Card Stock (I used Stampin’ Up!’s), Strawberry Slush Card Stock (131295), and Basic Black Card Stock (121045)
Stamps: Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set (123759) and Stampin’ Up!’s old French Script Background Stamp
Ink: Coastal Cabana Classic Ink Re-Inker (131164), Strawberry Slush Classic Ink Re-Inker (131167), and Stazon Ink
Accessories: Cotton Ball, Rubbing Alcohol, and Basic Rhinestones (119246)
This card can be a Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary, Thinking of You, Thank You, or any type of card.
