This is part 2 of my two-part series on making coasters with tiles.
All of the basic stamping steps are the same as in part 1, but instead of using stazon and watercolour wonder crayons or pastels, you use craft ink.
Start by gathering your supplies, and cleaning your tiles. Make sure you choose a bold image to stamp, not a dainty one, or a line-art image. The craft ink needs to “pop” out at you. Some of the best stamps for this technique are 2-step stamping.

Next, stamp in your colour of choice. I used brocade blue for my first step colour in 2-step stamping.

Heat set your tile before continuing. The brocade blue needs to be dry before adding the top layer of ink. Chocolate chip craft ink was my overstamp colour. I love the contrast between blue and brown, so these two colours together are two of my favorite choices.

As before, to completely finish this project you add cork to the bottom using crystal effects and a few light layers of crystal clear Krylon. However, since it’s very cold tonight outside my house, I’m not going to finish these right now. I’ll wait a few days and hope that the temperature gets to be a bit more seasonal.
So here’s the almost-finished project. I’ll be crafting 2 more of this one and 3 more of my last tutorial to give away as gifts this year.
I hope you enjoyed this, and if you have any questions or comments, or would like to send me a link showing me your projects, I’d be happy to talk to you!

Merry Christmas!
