April ATC swap

I made this for lovepug2's April ATC swap where the requirements were a Spring image and faux tile technique.

The background was inked with archival inks using a Judikins ink duster. The image is a portion of an SU stamp (no room for the verse underneath so I masked it). It was stamped with black archival ink. I cut it in to tiles, pressed the tiles to a versamark ink pad and heat embossed with Ultra High Gloss clear embossing powder. While the ep was still warm I sprinkled on another coat and heated again to get more dimension. The base of the ATC was coated with Versamark and then embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle's glittery EP in a color called "Hit the Beach", to make a sparkly grout. I then adhered the tiles with scor tape.
Thanks for hosting the swap lovepug2! I really enjoy it!
TFL!

I really like the sparkley ground. The colors in the background are soft and pretty.

I really like that you did the stamp in black so it looks like a shadow. Your tiles are so straight and even. The grout is neat too. TFS

Beautiful. Love the window effect

Great work! I can see how dimensional your tiles are with the EP glaze. And the 'grout' looks like sparkling sand. Excellent to use a black silhouette as the image. It 'pops' beautifully!

What a sweet image. I really like the glitter grout you created for the background. The EP worked great for creating the tile effect.

This picture doesn't do it justice! Isn't that always the case, hehe. It is so glittery and the EP as the dimension is awesome. Very smooth.
