DIY and Crafting

Who says you can't combine hobbies? I bought these tiles and some matt fixative when I went with my husband to the DIY shop, I recognised the need to buy unglazed tiles, glazed will never dry!
The stamp set is Summer by the Sea p48 of the current Catalogue, and I am very fond of it. A few friends might spot who this boy reminds me of.
Anyway the image was stamped on using Black Stazon-P82, and coloured using the pastels again P82.
This is part of a set of coasters, some self adhesive foam pads give this cushion, and the matt spray protects the image from spills.
If you are interested in hosting a party with this inexpensive project then email me on the link above.

Sam, that's such a good idea to use stamps on tiles...I would have never thought of that. Those stamps are being retired in SU USA so I guess we need to rush buying a set in the UK as they might have the same fate over here too.
