Wipe off some unfinished tiles and use StazOn inks to stamp whatever images you would like. Then I carefully used alcohol markers and a PITT white artist pen marker to gently add color. Next, (place an old newspaper or a bill you don't want to pay under the tiles) take a little sand paper or block and sand off the images a bit to give them a rugged, distressed and used feel and soften up the intense line images. Voila! Wipe off all the dust from the sanding and add some little adhesive feet of your choice (felt, silicone, googly eyes, whatever). Done. Try it yourself - makes unique and fun gifts for friends!
Stamp Sets: I used some beachy images from GKD, There She Goes Again, Stampin' Up. (No, you will not break out into hives if you combine stamps by different companies.) StazOn ink stains - be sure you protect your work surface. I cleaned all the stamps with StazOn Cleaner, then cleaned well before storing.
Thank you for the video tutorial Gina!!!
Aloha and thank you for
coming by and leaving your kind comments!!!
Rosy these are stunning! Thanks for sharing the great details.
ReplyDeleteLove them!! Are you sure you didn't get hives? LOL, you are too funny
ReplyDeleteRosy, I LOVE how these turned out! Very professional looking. Do you have to put a finish over the top to seal them? I hope you actually use them, as they should be displayed!!
ReplyDeleteWow! These are super amazingly lovely! I love the designs on them and how you distressed them.

ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to do this for ages. Can Bruce get me some tiles? Love, these beautiful tiles and your beachy scenes. So glad you don't break out in hives when you mix stamps (you are tooo funny).
ReplyDeleteThese are just beautiful, my dear. I have been wanting to try this, and now I MUST go get some tiles. I think they would be pretty mounted on the wall. That way you don't run the risk of having the images rub off, even though you fixed them with spray. I love the colors you have used......really, really nice!!! And your post cracked me up - you are too funny!!
ReplyDeleteLove these, Super and of course the sense of humour is always fun, keep it up Rosy Hugz
ReplyDeleteOh they came out FABULOUS!!! I have made some of these as well, compliments of Gina! lol Not only do they work as coasters, but you can also hang them as ART! (you're welcome!) ;)
