Polished Stone

This is the 21st week of A Card a Week Challenge. One card a week--for 52 weeks--with a preset challenge for each month. June is "try a new technique" challenge.  Every Tuesday I will post a card that fits the theme of the monthly challenge. This is the first card for June!

I made this card using the Polished Stone Technique.  While it is not a "new" technique for me, it has been many years since I have done it.  I have a number of bottles of Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks, along with some of the metallic ones too.  I have had them a long time--so long that a couple of the metallic ones separated.  They do not have the metal ball in them like the newer bottles, so they had to be tossed, as no matter how much I shoot them, they were not right.  But, a quick trip to Joann's and I am set again..............  I heat embossed a very old Stampin' Up stamp called Graceful Words on vellum, suing silver powder to match the silver metallic in the background. I really like the look of this card and hope you do too.  I know I will use these more in the future!

Here is the inside of my card:

I hope you will stop back each Tuesday to see my creation for my A Card a Week Challenge!  June is "try a new technique" month--so be sure to check back to see what new techniques I will be showing off!
