Project Night

For my last project night here is a picture of what we made.

We made a 3 cards using each using a different technique or tool. We did the polished stone technique, the marble effect, and we used the stamp-a-ma-jig tool. We also altered a dollar store 4x6 photo album front and back cover.
The Heartfelt card was made by soaking a cotton ball with alcohol and adding a couple drops of your favorite reinking colors (I used Sahara Sand and Almost Amethyst) Add the drops directly on top of each other. (hint: whatever color is your favorite or the one you want to stand out more add that reinker last). Then in a circular motion rub it onto GLOSSY card stock. And let it dry. We added a step before we did the polished stone. We did Embossing Resist -->Click Here < -- for another post talking about this. On the Wonderful card we took the same color reinkers and placed them into a Stampin'Up! Storage box then added a couple drops of each color along with the paper and marbles. Then just shake everything up until you get the coverage you like. P.S. I could not find any marbles in the stores - crazy - I know - So I used my sons Hungry Hippos marbles (He was quite concerned that they were getting "dirty" - Ha) Then set the paper aside to dry! This is a great background accent.
