These are my first dominoes. Both were bleached first. The one on the left was stamped with Black Stazon and colored in with Twinkling H20's, then pressed onto a Versamark pad and embossed with clear EP. The other domino was stamped with Versamark and embossed with gold EP, then colored in with Pearl Ex using a waterbrush filled with Future Floor Finish. It reminds me of Cloissone. I haven't sealed that one yet - not sure whether I want it glossy or matte finish. Both were painted on the sides with the Krylon gold leafing pen.

WOW! I didn't even recognize that one of the images was from Nature's Wonders! It looked like something you cut our of a calender and decopodged onto the domino! THIS is GREAT!!

Oh, my gosh! So THAT's what you've been doing with yourself! These are stunningly, fantastically beautiful! It would be fun to have a collection of these for posterity. Some day they'll be on the Antiques Roadshow of the future. Truly, Linda, these are amazing!

First of all, thank you for the wonderful compliments! I studied all the dominoes in the SCS galleries and everything I could find on dominoes in the SCS forums. So thank you all for yet another great education in a stamping related venture! There were many different recommendations, so I decided to try them out unbleached and bleached. I liked how the h20's, the pearl ex and the gold leaf pen adhered to the domino after they are bleached. They all seemed to chip or rub off easier when the domino was unbleached and "slicker." But these are my first ones, so time will tell how they will hold up. Linda
