The marbled band is made using pearly nail polish on water!
Here are some tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS799-PmfnI or

I found fewer colours were better and not too much (so no blobs); also different amounts of each colour gives a better effect. If you try it, make a secondary print from the bowl which will be softer and quite different. Pearlised nail polish gives a beautiful effect. Also the cheaper the nail polish the better it works!
Edges of pink card inked, sentiment stamped, marbled piece diecut, pearls added. It looks better IRL.

love the technique using nail polish on water to create the band, so smart! I will have to give it a try! Thank you for joining us at MMM
Beautiful card Carol and love how you used the strip of the nail varnish technique-great idea I have a few pieces made with this technique and not used but look good with just a strip-thanks for the tip

What a pretty piece you got with your sparkly nail polish. Haven't done this since we did in the swap group years ago! Love the wavy die cut too.
Hi Carol, have never tried this out before but having seen this may have ago it looks so gorgeous and I love the shape of the band, so pretty.xx

What a gorgeous friendship card! I'd forgotten about using nail polish to make designer paper and must get some polish soon. Thanks for joining us at Make My Monday. I hope to see you in our gallery again soon!
How true! Friends make our world beautiful. I love the clean feel to this card. Beautiful work.
