Tami's tumbled tiles got my creative juices flowing and after seeing her BEAUTIFUL tiles I had to give them a try! I just posted in the gallery two of the 4 tiles I made last night. These are 4" X 4" tumbled tiles from Home Depot (they came in a box of 9 tiles for only about $6 CAD! ) I tinted the background with gold MM ink. Then I stamped the image with Black Versafine and baked them in the oven for 15+ minutes at 350 degrees to heatset all of the ink. After letting them cool (it takes a while) I painted the rooster and cardinal with twinkling H2O's and then put them back in the oven for 15 more minutes to heatset. After they completely cooled I gave them two good coats of Krylon Triple thick gloss. I'll put cork on the back and use them as trivets/coasters.
Tami and Jan (Far North) were wonderful giving me inspiration and much needed tips! Thanks. OK...I'm back to my laboratory to make more! These are really fun!:D
