My faux polished stone was made by mixing Interference Blue PearlEx with some watercolor additive I had (I'm sure anything will work, I just used what was lying around unused). Dropped some of this mixture on my paper and pounced with an alcohol soaked cotton ball with drops of Almost Amethyst re-inker on it. I then set my background with El Cheapo aerosol hairspray. Too bad the scan doesn't pick up the cool metallic look, especially with the interference blue. From one angle it has a blue metallic, the other more gold. The sentiment was printed using Santa's Sleigh font.

Oh I'd love to see this IRL, even from the scan I can see that is a wonderful backdrop for the antique car! I love the brads and the way you did the ribbon.
