Duotone stamping on tile

For this one, I first painted the tile using Peerless watercolors (I like to use those because the color is very concentrated and not washed out like other watercolors can sometimes be. I let this dry thoroughly. Next, I used the text stamp from Sheet 25b. I inked it with both Fresco Vatican Wine and Fresco Blue Grotto ink and used this to stamp around the edges of the tile in a cross-hatch fashion. Note that with the Fresco ink on the tile, the letters will not be crisp but it does add texture which I liked. Let this dry thoroughly. I then overstamped using Fresco Amaretto Truffle. I then overstamped it with Brilliance Black.
