April Rain ATC

For this 'faux tile' ATC I did more than one 'faux'.

I cut white CS to ATC size & used 5 stamps (with masking). I added touches of color with markers. Then used a black Sharpie to draw the 'mortar' lines. Used a finepoint black pen to add some lines.

To glaze, I used 3 layers of clear EP. While the top layer was still warm I impressed it with a crackle stamp.

To finish I applied a DI (walnut stain) & treated it as an antiquing stain by wiping. The result looks like a crackled finish, but it's faux.

Nothin' faux about your creatve style Daniel...the real style is always creative! And this is no exception! TFS!

Wow! Daniel, I love, love, love this. Everything about it is wonderful. I love the way you added just hints of color and all the crackle touches. Who makes those images? Please don't tell me they are discontinued. TFS. Daria

This is wonderful, Daniel. I love the crackle effect! TFS

Alas Daria, I have no idea about the stamps. Someone rak'd me a sheet of images long time ago. Best I can tell you is the rubber is purple. But I don't think they came from SugarLoaf.

Yep, this ones my fave! I love the pops of color and the effect the crackle gives the overall piece. It really reminds me of a painting! I think the black adds such a great outline and really makes it look as if you're looking out a window. Well done my friend!

I'm speechless. This piece is a work of art. I cannot believe it is only ATC sized. I love how you didn't color any of the images completely. It really adds to the tile look of the piece. And the crackle stamp was the perfect touch.

Wow, this is a piece of art!!

This is an awesome ATC! So much packed in to one little piece. The crackle stamp was a genious idea. I love the way you only partially colored the image. Super!

I agree with all the other comments. This is very creative and turned out wonderfully. TFS

Very cool to add the crackle stamp --I was certain it was crackle accent (a product sold by Ranger). I love the look of the ATC. SO nice!
