Craft ink on tumbled tiles?

[TechGoddess]

Has anyone used the craft ink on tumbled tiles successfully? I'm just wondering if it would work without the ink running?

Unfortunately, I'm afraid not. I tried the Craft Ink last night. After baking and letting sit over night, put a wet glass on it this morning . . . panic hit when my flowers turned into colored puddles. I can salvage most of my design, but I think I'll have to be content with it being a piece of art (still putting a sealer on it).

I asked the same thing several days ago....I was advised to use StazOn BUT I need white ink...there is a tile listed that the artist says she used Craft white but I sure don't know how. Micayla

the white stazon is amazing! i got a chance to play with it today. i didn't try it on a tile but it should work great. it is super hard to get off your stamps though.

Also, if you have any color on your stamps (because they've been stamped in another color of staz-on) even if they've been cleaned well, the white staz-on will try to mix with that color. Got some pretty light blue snowflakes when we tried this, but it wasn't the look we were going for, KWIM?

I just recently stamped on the Bottochino tumbled tiles. Stazon works great. I used the craft ink pads on my grape tiles. My suggestion is if you are working with several colors, use your heat gun to dry as much of the ink as possible before going onto the next color. I sprayed a workable fixatif by Krylon prior to stamping and then sprayed a matte finish/sealer when done. I hope this helps. Here are my tiles I made the other day.

I have better luck with the craft inks than with the stazon. You just have to take your time and allow some drying time. I allow mine to dry and then spray with an acrylic sealer. I have never baked mine. Many of these coasters are now floating around my family's and friend's houses and are holding up quite well!
