Welcome to Monday, did you have a good weekend? I spend mine working on organizing my craft room to prepare for the new Annual Catalog. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is the ability to order before a new catalog goes live. Check out my Join the Fun tab for details on joining the Stampin’ Up family and purchase products before everyone else.
One of my other tasks this weekend was working on projects for next Sunday when my Sunday Stampers meet, since the Glossy Cardstock will be retiring I thought why not make a card using it, so I though I would make some samples using the “Polished Stone” technique. The base of my card today uses this technique.
Today’s card is for the Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch challenge PCC336, Vertical Sketch, check out the blog by clicking the sketch below.
My card is featuring three items retiring from the current Annual Catalog:
- Glossy Cardstock
- Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set
- Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies
The bottom of the card features the “Polished Stone” Technique which uses four basic items:
- Ink Refill’s (colors of your choice, I used Mint Macaron & Highland Heather on this card)
- Glossy Card stock
- Rubbing Alcohol
- Cotton balls
Here’s what I did – added some rubbing alcohol to a cotton ball, added a few drops of ink refill and pounce all over the glossy card stock – if desired you can use a new cotton ball to dab off any excess ink. Since you are using rubbing alcohol the ink dries fast!
Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope this project has inspired you to try paper crafting. Have a great day – Craft On!
