I'm stuck on this technique. So bare with me...
The first card I used Bashful Blue, Marini Mist & Platinum Shimmer Paint. After my sheet dried, I embossed it with the Finial Press embossing folder, (page 214). Pretty, right?
And this is what it looked like when I finished. You really don't need to add much because the card is beautiful without a lot of extra embellishments.
Then I tried Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Champagne Shimmer Mist. You have to be careful not to muddy your card when you have a darker color. The Shimmer Mist paint makes both of these cards just shine. I embossed this card with the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder.
And here is the finished card. Pretty again. I did use my Cherry Cobbler marker to add the centers of each flower. I thought that gave it a nice touch. We did this card in my last Stamp a stack. The gals in class loved having a refresher course on this technique. You know, what's old is new again.....Oh, and we added a few Rhinestones in between the flowers. Again you don't need a lot to finish the card.

Beautiful cards!
Oh I love these cards. I love the polished stone technique - but then you have gone that step further with the embossing folders - very nice.
Love this technique and am so glad to see it again! Do you have a way to "seal" it so that nothing rubs off? I'm curious as I've had that happen at times....
Very pretty effect on the card.
