Welcome - Altered Tile

Welcome back! Today I have another wonderful project using Unique Laser Designs wood embellishments. Lots of color and texture come together to create a unique home decor project. For this project, I used a 6x6 stone tile as my based.


To start, I painted the entire surface of the stone with a tinted glaze. Once the glaze was dry, I added different colors of ink to give a marbled effect.


Next, I used a stencil and modeling paste to add a layer of texture to the tile.  While the paste was still wet, I sprinkled it with glitter.  Every project must have a bit of sparkle.


Once the modeling paste is dry, I added some ink to give the tile more color.


Now on to the embellishments.  I used a mixture of alcohol inks, Stickles, and dimensional paint to add color to my ULD embellishments.


Now it's just a matter of pulling everything together.  I added a couple strips of washi tape to the bottom, adhered all of the wood embellishments, then layered on the flowers.


A wonderfully simply project with striking effect. Now I have something to display in my home to welcome guests.

Mini Embellishments

Hello, Kimberly here with a few mini embellishments.

I love creating mini albums!  I also love mini versions of my favorite Wood Embellishments from Unique Laser Designs.  Did you know that most of their designs come in two sizes?  Yep.. perfect for my mini albums. 

Here are just a few mini albums and a few examples of where the mini embellishments came in handy.  I did use a few of the regular size embellishments.. so they are not all mini's.

4 recent mini albums where I added ULD embellishments.

See the golden bee sticking out behind the flower.

Hot Air Balloons.. not a mini but one of my favorite.

Mini feather fit perfect on a mini tag.

An ATC from ULD was covered then I added a
mini Polaroid. See the mini heart on the tag?
