Question Help with Polished Stone!!
I have done polished stone before, but it's been a while. For some reason my cotton ball is coming apart and sticking to the paper. I am using rubbing alcohol and glossy cardstock. Any suggestions/tips?!

Thanks!

Crappy cotton balls?
Not enough alcohol?

Maybe try sponges instead of cotton. I *think* that is what I did once.

Switch to 91% alcohol for one, try a different brand of cotton ball, for 2. The higher alcohol percentage gives a better polished stone effect.
