It's been years since I have done the Polished Stone Technique
This is a great way to add a background to your creations - easy and SO effective
Here's the card I shared
Isn't that background great?
This is such a fun and easy technique!
First you will need some Glossy Card Stock cut to whatever you want your background to be
Start with a cotton ball and some Rubbing Alcohol
Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol to the cotton ball
Then choose three ink refills.
I used Old Olive, Pear Pizzaza and Crumb Cake
Add drops of the reinkers to the cotton ball
TIP: use more of the light and less of the darkest I used 4 drops of the lighter and 3 drops of the darker colors
Dab the cotton ball around on your Glossy Card Stock until you get the desired background you want
Let dry - doesn't take long - just about 15 seconds. The colors will blend together as they dry
And that's all for your background - just add some stamping to the background
I used Tuxedo Memento Black Ink!
