Greetings! This month, I have been getting a LOT of use out of the Pointed Lace stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, because it’s so pretty and fun to work with. This time, I did something completely different and made it look as though it was a ceramic tile. This was a blast to do.

I applied Villainous Potion, Tumbled Glass, and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink on to my 6×6 Gel Press Plate and then pulled a print. Next, I inked the Plate with Villainous Potion Distress Oxide, laid my stencil on top, and removed the excess ink around the stencil with copy paper. Then, I pulled the stencil off, laid my first print on top, and made a new print. I loved it, but I wanted it to shine like tile. So I applied about 6 layers of an ultra thick clear embossing powder, heat setting in between each layer. When I had my last layer on, I started to bend and twist the panel, which caused some really cool cracks. This gave me the exact effect that I wanted.

You can see in the photo above just how thick and shiny the panel is. You can see some of the cracks too. Next, I tore a piece of turquoise corrugated cardstock for the bottom of the card. I die cut a “sweet” out of light teal. This die is from Stamp Anniething.

This card came together quickly. Embossing the layers didn’t take long, since the panel stayed warm while I prepped it for the next layer. It really looks like an old tile! And I really like the smoothness of the upper portion with the matte texture of the corrugated cardstock at the bottom.
