I have tried so many different ways to stamp and color these tiles! My other set I did with Staz-On, so they didn't have to be sealed and would absorb the moisture. Well, the Staz-On colors are a little too "vibrant" for a lot of the images. On this one I used Watercolor pencils (they're so hard to color on and blend because of the texture). I'm really not crazy about it. After coloring and blending with an Aqua Painter, I masked off the edges and sprayed 3 times with Krylon Matte Sealer, so the edges will still absorb the moisture. I put felt circles on the bottom to prevent scratching the surface they're set on.
ETA: Got the tumbled tiles @ Home Depot. Around $6 for 9 tiles

That is absolutely beautiful. I am trying my hand at doing these and so far I must be doing something wrong as they def..don't turn out as beautiful as these. Of course I am still a newbie at this whole stamping thing less than a year. But I am learning thanks to everyone's wonderful postings on here.
Great Job with this tile!!!
How do you get your ink not to run? I have this exact stamp, and I'm trying to stamp it on the tile with stazon, but about a min after I stamp, the ink has run together. It looks like your tiles are the exact ones that I'm using too.
