Polished Stone 2
In a previous post, you saw how to create the Poor Man's Polished Stone background demonstrated by our very own Kathy from Seaside Stampin' Ink. Here is a similar technique, but the streaks of color and stamped images are placed differently on the card:
Isn't it neat how Kathy completely changes the perspective by applying the ink diagonally instead of horizontally for the beach and adding the water? The DD-295 Water stamp really gives movement to the waves, and this unique image also doubles as tree bark when used vertically.
Kathy shows us here yet another, completely different way to use the Mini Spritzers. She fills a spritzer with rubbing alcohol and adds 8-10 drops of dye reinker right into the bottle:
Then she sprays it onto Kromekote Glossy Cardstock:
She does this with a few more colors:
Until it looks like this:
She lays a piece of kitchen plastic wrap right on top of the wet surface:
And then she crinkles it:
Set this piece aside to allow it to dry. When it is dry (5-10 min.), simply lift the plastic wrap:
And this is the STUNNING result:
What a soft, pretty background! All it took to finish was a sentiment (Tradition E-1344) or (Believe D-933) stamped in black and some edging with a Krylon Leafing Pen. Look at the gorgeous finished examples:
Kathy has shared yet another great technique with our loyal and supportive customers!

Poor Man's Polished Stone Technique
Here our Kathy (Seaside Stampin' Ink) demonstrates another of the ways to use our Mini Spritzers and Stompers:
Here's a terrific technique she shares with you, which she calls Poor Man's Polished Stone. Load the felt stomper (included in the kit) with a few drops of dye reinker:
Let the stomper sit for a moment while you make "blobs" of color on a piece of Kromekote Glossy Cardstock with a Krylon Leafing Pen:
Immediately spray the cardstock using a spritzer filled with 91% rubbing alcohol:
Smear your inked-up stompers across the cardstock:
Look how the dye ink mixes with the Krylon Leafing Pen to create lovely striations of color for this beach scene:
Want to add a full moon? Just use your pinky finger to lift off a circle of color (how clever is that!):
Give the cardstock a few minutes to dry, and then stamp your images in black right over the background:
Seaside Stampin' Ink carries many stamps that are perfect for creating wonderful scenic art, which you can find by clicking here.
Add a finishing touch to your card by lining the edges with the Krylon Leafing Pen:
And that's it, you're done! Check out the beautiful results:

Spritzer Kit Techniques Using Some of Our Wonderful Images
Dye inks are a staple in any stamper's arsenal, and our dear Kathy K (Seaside Stampin' Ink) shows us here how to use them to make an easy, elegant card illustrating one of the many Spritzer techniques. Start by spraying a piece of glossy cardstock using a Mini Spritzer filled with rubbing alcohol and a few drops of an Espresso Adirondack reinker:
Wave the cardstock partially dry to separate the color:
Once it is completely dry, stamp H-1236 Santa, K-1230 Silent Night, D-1333 Believe, and the branch tips of G-1496 Tree onto the cardstock with an Espresso Adirondack Ink pad:
Then sponge around the edges with a Butterscotch Adirondack ink pad:
To add depth, layer with Adirondack Latte ink on top:
A Ginger ink pad adds an even richer look:
A bit of Espresso Ink provides the finishing touch:
And here are the beautiful results:
How simple is that? And the results are beautiful! Let us know if you try out this technique...we'd love to hear from you!

Veteran's Day 11/11/11...
I wanted to share some interesting Veteran's Day story - so how about this one...
Our Kathy, finally after years of searching, found the man who was on the POW bracelet that she wore in high school and for years beyond.
In Kathy's words...
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year, I just actually spoke to Col. Willis Forby, the POW of Viet Nam (whose bracelet I wore in high school) who was shot down and captured on September 20, 1965 and finally released on Feb 12th, 1973...after being a prisoner for 7 years and 5 months. He attributes his survival to his "great faith in God and the knowledge that my country would succeed in its mission after which I would be permitted to return." He told me to keep his bracelet as a reminder of all those lost in so many wars and to continue to pray for those serving now. Believe me, I was in tears.
