2x2 tiles in cello bags with toppers. These were my Toledo Regional swaps. I bagged the flower tiles before they were dry. :( This one gooped a little so I kept it for myself.

Thank you so much! I actually put a few drops of CE in an "el-cheapo" paint dish and added a few drops of re-inker. Then, using some of those paint brushes from the $ store, I mixed the re-inker and the CE and painted it on the tiles. I hear you can use markers or our pastels to color them, too. Just a note - I was told that you need to shoot the CE with a quick squirt of a small amount of sealer if you plan to use these as coasters for hot drinks. Too much sealer and they won't work as coasters. But, the sealant keeps the CE from getting all melty.

Thank you! Actually, I'm not sure on sealing the pastels. My side-line-sister who gave me the instructions said that "Pastels add a very soft effect. You can rub the pastels on & leave them plain or seal with the
crystal effects." I'm guessing that if you use CE to seal the Pastels, you still need to seal the CE! lol. So, skip the Crystal Effects and give them a small shot of spray. These are really so much more fun to make then I thought, and these were my first tiles, ever. I backed them with our cardstock (matching the cello topper), however, after seeing other's little tiles, I might use magnets next time. Just a note, don't use too much CE! I let those little flowers dry for over 24 hours and they still mushed up in the bags. However, I had a mountain of CE on them.
