Holly Brown: Polished Stone Snowflakes

Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today.  Judy's gorgeous polished stone card from yesterday inspired me to do my own polished stone card.  I used a couple of blue colors as well as a silver metallic color for my polished stone background.  In person, this card is very silvery and shimmery - love it!  I heat embossed some white snowflakes on top of my polished stone background and added the sentiment.  I left off the ribbons I planned to use because I didn't want to cover up that gorgeous background.  :-)

The stamps are from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps (one of our TJ vendors) and you can look through your latest issue of the Technique Junkies Newsletter for a special coupon code from them.  The polished stone technique can be found in the Polished Vellum tutorial (just swap out glossy cardstock for the vellum) in the April/May 2005 issue.  Yeah, it's an oldie but a goodie!!  Have a great weekend!

Polished Vellum Flower by Ann

Ann Clack here with a polished vellum flower!  An oldie but goodie technique from the April 05 newsletter.This card is for a friend's 50th birthday.  I asked her Sister-in-law if they were using any particular colors for the party.....pink and black!  So....this was my creation.  I backed the vellum flower with some flower punch outs so that it would pop away from the card.  The butterfly is also popped out to look more 3-D.  I've always loved Markie's mom (Faith) and her dots on black so I had to use on this card!  Enjoy!
