Love this. I finally stamped my first glossy tile but since I'm in Germany...I haven't been out an about to hunt for acrylic sealant. I hope it is spelt the same. Great job.

Jessica, what did you use to color the image? Beautiful coloring job. I have a box of tiles, not glossy, that I need to do something with and I have the stipple rose. TFS

Jessica,
This is beautiful....but, PLEASE!! share your secret. I have been trying to stamp on glossy tiles for years...even bought the 'conditioner' and the 'china paint' that they recommended. The image still slipped and smeared. So...any secrets would be greatly appreciated!! TIA

I stamped the tile with Stazon and then heated it with an embossing gun. I then sat it out overnight to make sure it dried. The next morning I sprayed the tile with a Matte Acrylic Sealant CAREFULLY to make sure it didn't smear. I then left it to sit again to make sure it dried. Then I was able to use Sharpie markers to color it in without smearing. As a hint, don't use red. I don't know why, but I did have problem everytime I used the color red... I then let that sit and dry and then waterproof it by spraying it with a Glossy Acrylic Sealant.

I remember when I made these tiles, I used a 6x6 tile that was glossy. I used pigment ink, heated it until it was dry and then sealed just the image area with floor wax in and aqua painter. Hope this helps!
