Sisters Tile

Here is a gift I made for my sister.  I first cut my tan piece of scrapbook background paper to 9 x 12 in size.  I stamped the large medallion in Basic Brown (Stampin' Up) down in the corner.  I took a 9x12 ceramic floor tile I purchased at Lowe's for a few bucks and decoupaged my background paper on it.   I covered it in a coat of Mod Podge.    I then cut out "Sisters make the best friends" out using Cricut's Stone Script and used DS to weld the letters together.  I cut some flourishes out in black paper using Cricut's "Cindy Loo" to use in the corners.  I matted my photos on black scrapbook paper to make them pop out.  I used Mod Podge on each layer I put down. I allowed AT LEAST 30 minutes between each coat.  I finished it off by putting a couple layers on top of it all.  My sister LOVED it!

  2. I LOVE IT !!!! I may have to scraplift it. My sister's bday is coming up in April. That would be a wonderful present. The only thing is we are step-sisters and our parents are jealous of how close she and I are and she is not that close to her full sister. So getting a pic of just me and her will be challenging. I hope I can get one tho. Thanks for the inspiration !!
