Description:
This technique can be done on a whole sheet of glossy white cardstock or a single ATC. Dampen a piece of felt or a cotton ball with Alcohol Blending Solution or rubbing alcohol. Then add 2 drops each of 2 or 3 reinkers. Dab over the glossy cardstock until the desired effect is reached. Allow to dry before you stamp or collage on your ATC. My samples show 2 different ways I did this technique. The one on the left is dragging the felt across my cardstock & the one on the right is pouncing.

Wow, this is so interesting, I'll have to try this technique for myself. New to me this technique for getting the look of polished stone. Thanks!

Can we use alcohol ink for this?

I would think it would give the same effect so, yes.
