Gather all of your supplies!

Use a toothpick to apply several drops of Iridescent’s to the Gel Press.  Then, take a brayer and blend the colors together.

Simply, place a piece of cardstock over the press and rub.  Pull the cardstock away.

I love the result!  I had not used a Gel Press before and LOVED how easy it was.  I made several more background pieces, as it is quite addicting!

Stamp out a quilt pattern onto the dried cardstock with Deep Woods, and then. heat set it.  Use a paper trimmer to cut it down to the size of the tile you are going to use.

Use Ultra-Seal™ to attach the design to the tile and then give it two generous coats on the top, letting it dry completely between coats.

Following the manufacturer’s instructions, measure out equal amounts of EnviroTex resin and hardener…

Then stir for 2 minutes.   Pour the mixture into a second cup and stir for another minute.

Then, pour the mixture onto the tile (which I had lifted up off my work surface), and spread it out to the edges.

Wipe away any excess that may drip off the sides.  Use a lighter to remove any air bubbles that rise to the top.  Let dry 12 – 24 hours.

      Yes you could Gail, just be sure and coat it with either the Ultra-Seal or Mod Podge a couple of times before adding the layer of resin.
