Polished Stone

Supplies: *Piece of glossy cardstock, cut to desired size. *Piece of wood and a felt square. (these are conveniently sold at hobby stores) *Re-inkers in 3 complimenting, but different colors. Okie Dokie-first stick your felt bag onto the wood, or wrap it around if you are improvising. Then spritz the felt with alcohol (not rum, but isopropyl) Add a few drops of color, maybe 2 or 3 of each color. If desired you can use your gold or silver pen to dab on- in place of one color. If you get too many colors, or too much ink it will look muddy. Now slam your ink dauber all over ther cardstock. Keep going until you have the desired look. "Bat Crest" this one I used Razzleberry, and soft suede to make the polished stone. Then two-tone emobossed with black and gold powders. "Hunt for Candy" Razzleberry, Soft Suede, and gold were used on this one.. you can see though I used more soft suede in this one than the one above.

Shadow Technique

Supplies: * line art stamp (wheel is easiest) * wheel and accessories. * white craft pad * darker ink pad * medium colored cardstock, dark enough so the white will show. But light enough so the dark will show too. Start by inking you line image on the white craft pad. If you are using a wheel, the wheel guide is great to help line things up. Before you roll, so you have precise measurement to line up the darker color. There is a line on all wheels of where the pattern begins and ends. Put that seam right at the edge of the handle. Now line up your wheel guide on the paper and begin rolling right at the edge of the paper. Ink up the wheel with the second color. As instructed before line the seam up, now move slightly one way or the other. This will offset the image just a little giving it the shadow look. Again line your wheel up right at the edge and roll. Whoa there is the shadow, very subtle, very cool. Now all you have to do is finish your card.
