Fun With Ceramic Tiles!

The ceramic tile above measures about 2 1/2 x 2 inches square. I used Versafine Clair Nocturne ink to stamp with. It took several days to completely dry, and because this ink is oil based, you can see a 'shadow' around each o the images. I quite like the effect! I need to spray it with something to protect the images.

These next few images are of some clear glass (?) tiles that I have written some positive words on. I used Posca pens in different colours to write the words. 

I sat the tiles in the sun to dry, luckily today was a nice sunny day! (Free Solar Power!)

The photo below is of some Acrylic wall paper sheets I found at the Resource Center. They are quite large, much bigger than an A4 sheet of card. Oh, and very heavy!  They were stapled/nailed together in a 'book', so out came my screw driver and I managed to remove the staples and nail things and remove each page. I now have a stack of these acrylic pages to create with! I think I can even sew them if I want to!

"Mideela" Lavinia Stamps.

I made the card above by first creating an abstract background. I brushed on different Versafine Clair ink pad colours. (the new colours) Then I stamped "Mideela" the dragon. I've had him for awhile but this is the first time I have used him. He measures close to 3 1/2 inches high and spans about the same width wise. I occasionally buy a stamp that I either have no idea how I will use it, or it may be a stamp I am not really keen on. Now I know that sounds weird - why buy a stamp I don't like? But never the less, it's something I do! "Mideela" was a stamp I liked but, at the time, had no idea how I would use him. Once I had done the background, and stamped "Mideela", I matted it on to some black card. I'm happy how it turned out, and I had fun creating this card! And that's what it's all about, enjoying what you do!

I made the cad above using another Clarity stencil, with different sized circles cut out. The flowers (Garden Poppy), and sentiment  are both Lavinia Stamps.  The card looks a bit pale on here, but in real life it is much darker. My apologies for that!

Ok, so what the heck are these two "things"?!

Good question! They are that fuzzy thing I mentioned in the previous post, that I got from the Resource Center, that I clean/dry my stamps on! They are on a thick piece of card stock, which you may be able to recognize in the second photo...or not! Ok, that's it for now! Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day!
