When I tackled this technique I asked myself two questions: 1) Can Polished Stone be done without blenduing solution, 2) Will embossing powder stick to glossy cardstock. In both instances the answer was clearly a "yes."
Supplies: Alcohol Ink, felt and blending handle, glossy cardstock
Drip alcohol ink in a random pattern on your felt
Pounce color onto glossy cardstock, covering the entire surface
When you run out of ink, reapply
Two examples of Polished Stone
Supplies for embossing: stamp, Polished Stone background, VersaMark, embossing powder, heat gun, embossing buddy
Stamp out VersaMark over your stamp and stamp onto your image.
Cover your image with embossing powder and shake off
Heat emboss embossing powder. She the bits of purple coming through the open spaces?
Your piece is now ready to embellish as desired. In real life the purple really shines through.

I love your wonderful card- and LOVE the technique! Your stamp is perfect to show the beautiful colors underneath!
Beautiful! Thank you for the tutorial. It reminds me of Joseph's Coat, but with embossing powder instead of black ink. I have a couple of pieces of polished stone I've never used because they were so dark. Now I'm going to try to just emboss with a reverse images stamp and see what I get. Thank you!
