Polished Stone Technique

Supplies you will need: Rubbing alcohol, glossy paper, two different colours of reinkers, one metallic reinker (Brilliance Metallic reinkers by Tsukineko used here) and one cotton ball.
Randomly place metallic reinker droplets on your glossy paper.

Soak your cotton ball with rubbing alcohol.






Add two or three drops of each reinker in one spot, then move onto the next colour. Space out your colours evenly on your cotton ball.




This is what your cotton ball will look like.





Dab your cotton ball filled with reinkers and alcohol into your metallic ink spots. Do not swirl, as the colours will mix together. Continue dabbing all over your glossy paper.






You need to work fairly quickly, because the alcohol speeds up the drying process.







The finished product. Let dry completly, apprx. 5 minutes. Now all you have to do is decide which card or layout you are going to use your beautiful paper on!
Check back to see my completed card, that I incorporated this technique into.
** I just wanted to say that Hannah took all the pictures. I think I may have a little photographer on my hands. Thanks sweet heart. **
