Project by Melissa Baldwin.

Materials:

2" x 2" unglazed tile
The Angel Company's T-584 Victoria stamp set
black waterproof ink pad
tissue paper
chalks
cotton swabs
Versamark clear pigment ink pad
Suze Weinberg's ultra thick embossing enamel (UTEE)
Prisma Glitter
E6000 glue
super-strong magnet
ruler

Steps:

1. Stamp the "Victoria" rubber stamp in black waterproof ink on a 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" square of tissue paper.

2. Color image in with chalks and cotton swabs.

3. Ink up your tile with the clear embossing ink. Pour ultra thick embossing enamel over the inked tile and shake off excess.

4. Put the tile into a toaster oven for 4 minutes at 350 F degrees or until the embossing enamel is completely melted.

5. Take tile out of oven and immediately lay your stamped tissue paper image into the melted embossing enamel. Tap down all the edges until flat, and then let cool.

6. After the tile is cool enough to handle, repeat the last step to give your tile a nice finish. Let cool.

7. After tile is cool, glue a super-strong magnet to the back of the tile with E6000 glue and let dry overnight.
