This is the 3rd of a series of 4 PDF-format tutorials giving instructions for creating polymer clay tiles using 5 different surface techniques using rubber stamps.
Whenever you use alcohol inks you are guaranteed to produce something with a striking and intense colour. Pair the inks with silver leaf and the effect is intensified. The tiles I made using this technique seem to have a wonderful inner glow.
A tile consists of 3 layers – the decorative 1st layer and the back layers 2 and 3, which provide the channel for the cording. The tutorial is sold as 2 PDF documents – the first is “The Basics” document which details the tile construction portion (layers 2 & 3) as well as extras such as “Creating a trim”, “Creating an Inverse texture sheet” and “Sample Tile Templates”. The second document covers the surface technique (layer 1). Together the 2 documents total 11 pages and 17 images at a cost of $4.00 CAD.
