Here's an easy tutorial on making your own hand-painted Delft tiles with the Iron Orchid Designs (IOD) Hameau de la Reine Paint Inlay:

✨ Start by cleaning a plain white tile and applying a base coat of gloss polycrylic.
✨ While the paint is still wet, lay your trimmed Hameau de la Reine piece design-side down and press gently, smoothing it out with a brayer.
✨ Lightly mist the backing with water to activate your pigment, and then let it dry completely.
✨ Once dry, mist again with water and peel back the sheet slowly to reveal the embedded design.
✨ Add a crackled texture with IOD's Vintage Textures Stamp and Stone Grey Decor Ink over the design to give that vintage worn effect.
✨ Seal with UV resin and admire.
