Daily Special - Polished Stone

Good Morning Everyone! I started off early today! AWESOME. The first thing I did today, besides dropping my kids off to school, was to sit down and make a card and actually finish it before doing something else. I always do everything else first and before I know it, it's 10:00 at night and I haven't sat down to make a single card. Sometimes throughout the day, I'm able squeeze in time to start on a card then finish it up at night.

Anyway, enough about my life. . .the background of this card was created using the "Polished Stone" technique. I've been having fun using this technique. It's a great way to make a beautiful, elegant background. Here is a tutorial I did on the "Polished Stone": Click here for the tutorial. The tutorial is also on SCS.

I stamped the image on to a white glossy cardsotck and with a sponge dauber I filled in the color of the flowers. It was a quick and easy way to color in the flowers. I then took a marker and colored in the leaves. After everything dried, I went back and sponged in a subtle color to the background so it won't look so "white".

I'll try to sit down later today and make another card or maybe start on a project. I'm sorry I haven't been creating any new tutorials but I just can't find the time right now.

Until later. . .
