Polished Stone Night in Bethlehem

Polished Stone is one of my very favorite techniques.

It's been around a long time, and it's so easy!

We made this at my Glossy Cardstock Technique Class a couple weeks ago:

Isn't it GORGEOUS???

For the technique, you need glossy cardstock, 2 or 3 Classic ink refills, a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle.

Put a couple drops of each ink on a cotton ball.
Spritz cotton ball with the rubbing alcohol.
Pounce color on glossy cardstock until its covered as you desire.
If you don't cover your whole piece, you can add more ink drops and continue.

Every background looks different–depending on the colors you choose, how many drops of ink you use and even how BIG the drops are!
You can also pounce and twist your color on for a different look.

If you wanna try the technique out, choose a couple colors of ink that you love together and start playing!

I prefer deeper/richer, monochromatic colors RATHER than lighter ones and/or non-monochromatic. (Start with all blues or all greens, etc–such as Night of Navy and Marina Mist as opposed to Navy and Rich Razzleberry.)

Here's what I used on this card:
