Looking for Christmas card ideas, this is a simple one to make. The Polished Stone technique is one of my favorite stamping techniques but I find I usually get really blotchy results so I added a twist and use my spectrum pad instead of colored reinkers and then just use the metallic reinker and rubbing alcohol after.
I created this Christmas card with this technique. In the video I mention that it is a bit easier than the regular technique and by that I mean that I just have to do it once to make my card and I am usually happy with it :-) I am using this card for one of the challenges this weekend at the wonderful Splitcoast site is putting on during World Card Making Day. This is the first time I have been able to participate in a challenge (my three year old finally decided it was OK for daddy to put her to bed...yipee!!) so exciting!
The colors I used for this card are Regal Rose, Basic Black and Glossy White. I brayered with the spectrum pad 'Cotton Candy' and then did the technique, stamped the trees twice with Black Stazon and added dazzling diamonds with a glue pen.
If you ever want to try and make your own Spectrum pad with makers, baby wipes and a stamp pad...it's fairly easy...check out this post to see how it's done HERE.
beautiful.
