I absolutely love stamping on different surfaces and stamping on a mirror or glass is one of my favorites. My other love is watercoloring, but you couldn’t watercolor on glass until now…

Ann Butler’s new Glace’ watercolors from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies can be heat set with a heat gun making them permanent. I’m in love! I hope you check these out and see for yourself how awesome they are. They’re definitely worth adding to your crafting tool box! Have fun~ Lisa

Note: The stamped images look a little blurry in the photos because photographing glass/mirrors is a little tricky!

Supplies for Stamping On A Mirror

Check out the full list of supplies at the end of this post.

Step One:

Begin by cleaning the glass with a glass cleaner and then wipe a dryer sheet or a static bag over the surface. Stamp the sunflower image onto the glass using a black pigment ink. Note: The finished project was created on a 6″ x 6″ mirror but for this post I used a piece of glass. The technique is the same for both surfaces.

Step Two:

Sprinkle clear embossing powder over the image. Shake off the excess and return it to the container. Use a dry paintbrush to remove any remainder bits of embossing powder. Heat the powder with a heat tool. Be careful handling the glass as it will be hot to the touch.

Step Three:

Stamp the flourish image with the blue pigment inkpad on the four corners of the glass.

Step Four:

Step Five:

To finish the project, using a water brush or a paintbrush with water to apply the watercolors to the image. I only applied one layer of the watercolors because I wanted a stained glass look. You can add more depending on what you like. Heat set the watercolors with a heat tool. Be careful handling the glass as it will be hot to the touch. Once the glass is cool, you can add some self-adhesive gems around the glass as desired.
