Card Class Samples of Polished Stone

You won't or I don't believe what just happened. I just finished typing this longggggggggggggggggg post and when I went to look up the name of a stamp set, I LOST ALL MY HARD WORK!!!!! rats.........

So as brief as I can I will list the supplies for the cards.
Ink: Silver metallic, Brocade Blue, Bordering Blue and Night of Navy classic reinkers.
Stamp pads: Stazon black and Basic Black classic ink
Paper: Night of Navy, Brocade Blue, Whisper White (for the greeting) and Glossy white.
Stamps: flowers-Garden Greetings, words- Upsy Daisy



Stamps: butterfly- God's Beauty, grass- Inspired by Nature
Reinkers: metallic- gold, classic- Ruby Red, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie
Stamp pads: Stazon black
Paper: Ruby Red, Basic Black and Glossy white



This card uses the metallic gold reinker along with Almost Amethyst, Lovely Lilac, and Elegant Eggplant classic reinkers. Stamp sets are Close As a Memory and Oval All, they are stamped in Versa mark ind and embossed with gold embossing powder. Papers used are Lavender Lace and Elegant Eggplant and Elegant Eggplant grosgrain ribbon. The punch used is the new oval scalloped that works great with the Oval All stamp set.






Here are some of the cards that we made at class this pass week. It was really hard to get good pics of them because they are on really glossy paper and the light reflects really bad.

I have two other ones, that were so bad I didn't even try to use them. I'll try to get better pictures of them later.

For this card we used gold metallic reinker and Lovely Lilac, Tempting Turquoise, and Green Galore classic reinkers. Usually we use just two drops of each color (except not the gold) however I would suggest 3 drops of the Lovely Lilac for this card. The flourish from the stamp set Baroque Motifs was stamped on the polished stone background with black stazon ink (be careful it's slickery). Lovely Lilac and Basic Black paper was used.
I wrote this last post first then when went up from there. That is one reason this post may seem a little screwy. The other reason of coarse was because I didn't save some of this when I left the page.
If you have any questions about the Polished Stone technique, don't hesitate to ask. I hope to start making videos soon, but don't hold your breath. And speaking of breath don't forget to use 91% alcohol when doing polish stone. My alcohol is almost gone, I just have a few drops left:0)
(you had to be there;0)
Till next time Happy Stampin' (not drinkin';)
