Baker Ross - Christmas Coasters...

Hi all :)
Here is another Baker Ross project. Included in the box of goodies that they sent to me was a box of ceramic coasters...a bottle of crackle paint primer...and a pack of porcelain pens.

I used 4 different techniques with the gorgeous IndigoBlu Baroque Bauble stamp.

I put a thin coat of primer onto all 4 tiles and left them to dry. 

Tile 1) Stamped the bauble with Stazon and coloured random leaves with the blue porcelain pen.

Tile 2) Stamped the image with IndigoBlu FlitterGlu...carefully brushed over mica powder and then edged with Mega Flake.

Tile 3) This one was stamped with FlitterGlu and covered with Mega Flake. 

Tile 4) This was again stamped with FlitterGlu and then finished with Iridescent embossing powder tinted with Lilac. 

They were all finished off with a coat of Spray and Shine to seal them. 

Fab gift idea...in fact...I gave mine to my daughter and her b/f   for their new home x

Happy crafting
