Maria's Monday Madness - Polished Stone With Sticker Resist



Hi Everyone! Happy Labor Day!! Whoohoo! I was able to complete Maria's Monday Madness video tutorial. My Internet did not flake out on me today! What is this tutorial about. . .well it's basically mixing the "Polished Stone" technique and adding stickers to create a "resist" or "masking" to create the sentiment. It's just a fun way to create a sentiment.


I used the retired "Brocade Background" designer paper for this card because it matched the stamped image! The color combo is "True Thyme, Pumpkin Pie, and Blush Blossom". Although I used "Cameo Coral" as one of the re-inkers to create the Polished Stone effect, it was primarily used to soften the Pumpkin Pie ink so the colors wouldn't look so orange.

Here is the close up of the effects of this technique. Try it out and tell me what you think!
Hope y'all are having a fabulous Labor Day!

I luv it Maria, it's so beautiful! I don't have any re-inkers so I can't try it for awhile, but I will someday 'cause I'm going to save your video & put it in my favorites. Thanks so much for sharing this fabulous technique!

Thank you I loved watching the video.
I had an idea while watching it could stick any stickers to a photo paper before you printed your photo and remove them after they had gone through the printer and when you removed them after printing you could have a name etc.

Very interesting effect when you add the alcohol to the dye inks. Thanks for sharing.
