Altered Domino Magnets

This is my first attempt at making Domino Magnets. I used the tutorial on splitcoaststampers.com but I didn’t seal mine (yet). From left, the colors are Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze, and Cameo Coral.

After a lot of trial and error, this is the way I had success: I stamped onto a freshly sanded domino in White Craft ink, then embossed with White Embossing Powder. After heating for a while and waiting for the embossed image to fully dry (learned that the hard way), I applied my reinker using a tissue. I rubbed the color into the domino and wiped off any excess. The embossed image resists color, leaving you with a crisp white image.

For the New Home domino, I colored the image using Prismacolor Markers (any permanent marker will work). Stamp is from Katie & Co. (Michaels’s $1 stamp). Here is a close up:

Other stamps used are from Great Friend, Goody Goody Gumdrops, and Eastern Blooms. On the back I glued on a magnetic disc using Crystal Effects.
