I made this card for a new catty (Stampin’ Up! Spring/Summer Collection 2008) swap with the ladies of the GreatSwaps group. We all picked a new stamp set from the catalog, and I chose Wonderful You. I also used a new background stamp, Twill, to create a subtle background.
The bottom panel was created with the Polished Stone technique. I started with a piece of Glossy White card stock. I added drops of ink on a cotton ball drenched with rubbing alcohol, and dabbed onto the card stock to create the marble effect. Then I set it aside to dry and afterwards sprayed it with an acrylic sealer.
All supplies by Stampin’ Up!® unless otherwise noted.
