I love that we can manipulate paper and cardstock to make them look like something else. Here I paper piece, emboss and then add gloss to make a piece that looks like a ceramic tile. It reminded me so much of the hand painted tiles I saw in the Alhambra in Spain, that I incorporated the piece into a Bon Voyage card for a traveller.
