This was the favorite project we made at the Christmas Gift class. I bought the Chiaro Natural Stone tiles at Lowe's. Make sure to wash them at least a day ahead and let them dry. I stamped with Black Staz On ink and sprinkled clear embossing powder and heated the stones for 3-5 minutes until the powder melted. It takes 15 minutes or more for the tiles to cool again. I added color by using Blendabilities markers and applying the ink with sponge daubers. Applying the ink directly with the marker would probably ruin the tips in a short time since the tiles have rough spots. Each tile looks very individual due to the natural tiles. These are great thirsty stone drink coasters. The ink is permanent and the tile soak up all the moisture from those sweaty drink glasses!
These tiles are super nice. Sorry I could not be at the class.
