I first created my designer paper by using Sage Shadow reinker and rubbing alcohol to do the polished stone technique. I stamped the image in the various shades of brown. Once dry, I ran the cardstock through my Cuttlebug with the fleur de lis embossing folder.

this is very pretty Charlene, I looked at the same one and thought about doing it, but I don't think I would have created anything nearly as nice as this!

This has to be one of the most beautiful uses of polished stone ever. Thank you for explaining the layering of techniques you used to reach this amazing end result. GORGEOUS!
