Oh my gosh, these are WONDERFUL! Thanks for sharing. How did you do the WWC and alcohol, did you color on the tiles and then paint w/alcohol, or did you dip brush in alcohol and pick up the color from the WWC? Why alcohol??
thanks!

I scribbled the crayons on the lid of the tin, dipped the brush in the alcohol, and painted it on. Not sure about why alcohol. I took a class on how to do these from a local stamp store, adn that's what we used. It does give a more marble-stone look, but for the two quick and cute one's I just painted it on thick as I wanted a solid color. I'll have to try it with just water adn see what happens.

These are wonderful! Love the addition of the wire and beads.
