I buy my tiles at Lowe's. They are tumbled marble tiles. The # on the back is 95137 and it says tumbled marble 4x4
Bottocino. I washed the tiles with water only to get the dust off then dry them. Stamp the image with StazOn. Give it a few minutes to dry. Once dry, color in the image (I used SU! markers). Let dry...I did these late at night so I let them dry overnight. Sometimes the ink is dry so check them first before you do anything else to them. Usually you can tell by tilting them in the light, the wet spots are a little shiny like. If you can't tell that way, lightly touch it with the tip of your finger. Once they dried my husband sprayed them with Krylon (buy it at WM). The Krylon I used specified masonry on the back. He sprayed them, let them sit for about 30-60 mins. then put the next coat on and repeated until he put 3-4 coats on them. I learned the hard way...do not spray anything on them if you plan to color them. The ink won't stick. It doesn't seem real noticeable in the pic but the water is actually stickled with waterfall and the sand has little dots of star dust stickles on it. Thanks for the compliments
