Ann Butler has designed a new set of stamps that she calls Faux Quilting (for their patterns) and they are way too much fun! There are several packs of designs to choose from, so the combinations and uses are fan-zillion-tastic! Ann set up this blog hop to show many of the ways the stamps could be used.

I had the pleasure of working with the Leaves All Over and Stripes.Dots.Hearts. sets. I immediately pictured polymer clay tiles textured with Ann’s wonderful designs! And, oh my heck, WHAT FUN!
Materials:

Pasta roller
Water Spritzer

.Roll out your clay on the largest setting on the pasta roller – about 1/8″.Spritz the stamp lightly before each imprint |
 |
You can make some interesting quilty patterns before cutting your tiles. |
 |
Use your tissue blade to cut irregular shapes and sizes.I bent the blade to make curved edges.Bake the clay according to the directions. |
 |
After cooling, apply metallic paste with your fingers over the raised areas.Brush each tile to get rid of dried paste bits before the next step. |
 |
Apply even coats of dimensional sealer to the tiles.I dropped gems onto the lovely dotted pattern pieces.Allow to dry over night. |
 |
Prepare the box by decoupaging with decorative paper and metallic paste.Sand the hard edges of the paper and apply metallic paste wherever you like. |
 |
Arrange the tiles on the top of the box and glue in place.Use leftover tiles to add interest on the lower part of the box. |
