This week's Featured Stamper over at SCS is Carole. She has a very
nice gallery, and I always enjoy browsing through galleries. I have been seeing the
polished stone effect, and have been wanting to try it - well, this card of Carol's made it really easy!
I stayed with the black bg to let the effect really stand out. The sentiment is a little sneak peek of MFP's new set
Thankful Mums and Pumpkin.
My next card is a first for me.
Operation Write Home is an organization that I am impressed with! Anything that supports our troops is terrific in my book. I played along with their
sketch challenge. A nice and easy one which goes so well with a CAS card.
The back strip on this is something new I tried today with a Spellbinders Impressabilites folder. Heather over at PTI showed us how to do
Letterpress. Basically you brayer up the folder with ink and run in through your embossing machine. The ink color comes off onto the cardstock and embosses at the same time. IRL it is much more defined [- not so much in the photo. I'm just sayin.] Once again, the sentiment is a sneak peek from the same MFP set as above,
Thankful Mums and Pumpkin. Thanks for stopping by~~

Hi Vicki, I love both your cards. That polished Stone effect is just amazing. And I love the colours you chose for your OWH card.
Both cards are beautiful! I love the polished stone colors and design, but I'm so happy to see you playing along with the S&S sketch! I totally support OWH! Love that purple color and gorgeous letterpress design!
love your OWH card
Hi, the polished stone effect is very nice, and I love the script font of the sentiment on your 2nd card. Both are really pretty.
Fabulous designs for a wonderful cause, Vicki! Awesome work! The polish stone look is amazing! The black background does make it pop! Lovely cards!
Great cards, Vicki! LOVE the purple!
I've been thinking about trying inking my embossing folders. Now I am definitely going to do it. Great card.
Beautiful polished stone and Letterpress technique cards! I haven't ever tried the PS and my attempt at the LP didn't turn out so well. Will have to try the brayer instead of sponging! TFS!
You have the polished stone technique down. I love your take on the sketch. the flower is a nice touch
