Nail Polish Highlights
by Thrifty Stamper
I like to experiment with different inexpensive coloring mediums. I purchased 3 bottles of nail polish at the local dollar store. Here it is called Dollar Tree. I found that the polish was not opaque. It gave shine and a bit of color to pre-colored images.
To make this card you will need:
Stamp set-Relax a Bit
ink- black and a brown
Black card stock:
4 1/2" x 3 1/4"
1" x 3 3/4"
1" x 2 1/2"
Large black circle diecut
scrap to punch oval
Printed paper:
4 1/4" x 3"
3/4" x 3 1/2"
3/4" x 2 1/4"
Natural cardstock:
4 1/4" x 11 folded in half for base
circle that nests in the black circle
scrap for the sentiment
scrap for the image
Oval punches that nest
markers
sponge spot

small hole punch

Brush nail polish over the flower image. It will add a shine and hint of color.

Use sponge spot to add brown ink to the edges of the Natural cardstock circle.
