The card I was drawn to CASE is one chosen by other Crew members too! It’s the grey card on page 101.
The layout is so versatile and can be used for a variety of types of cards.
In this card I used three colours to make the polished stone look – Island Indigo, Marina Mist and Pool Party. I wanted to achieve a water look as I could imagine relaxing in that chair beside the water. I’ve added a couple of Clear Faceted Gems for sparkle!
- To construct the card, once the ink was dry, I punched a circle out of the centre using the new 2 1/4″ circle punch. (I think this punch is going to get lots of use in this house!)
- This was adhered to the front of the card so that the circle was stuck directly onto the card with Liquid Multipurpose Glue, while the larger piece with the opening was popped up on the adhesive foam strips.
- I embossed the sentiment (and how cool is that sentiment – “Just Breathe”? – just saying) onto vellum.To get the blue embossing, I first inked up the stamp in Versamark, then before stamping – I inked it in Island Indigo – then I stamped onto the Vellum. Before doing anything else, I cleaned the stamp to avoid any chance of Island Indigo getting into my Versamark! After that I sprinkled some Clear Embossing Powder and heat embossed it.
- The vellum banner was attached to the my card with a half-width piece of tear tape and the gorgeous deckchair from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits was adhered over this. Placing these this way meant the adhesive holding the vellum was not visible.
- Clear or Gold Facetted Gems were used to embellish the card.

Great card Jackie and a great technique!
ohhh that looks so cool Jackie. Definitely going to have to give that a try! TFS <3
Gorgeous backgrounds Jackie! Do you know that I didn’t even notice the new 2-1/4″ punch – whoops!!! Kelly x
certainly does look like water should be swirling over that polished stone. Thanks Jackie that’s a new technique I’ll have to try.
Your cards are awesome and so exciting for you to have some in your stash. What a great technique. Thankyou for sharing.
I remember how much people loved polished stone, last time around. Love the look you’ve achieved here with the blues Jackie.
Wow, what stunning backgrounds!! They look amazing.
