Altered marbles

Hallo,
Just a quick note - didn't get much done in the craft room today. Started these flat glass marbles for my DD yesterday and finished them today. We are redecorating her room during spring break the end of this month. She wants to paint one of her closet doors with magnetic paint - then paint a month calender on it - these marbles will mark out the number days.
In the first photo I applied bright colors (matching some from her new room colors) and put them direct to paper, stamped over them with this funky stamp from the folks over at Rubber Nature http://www.rubbernatureartstamps.com/.
With the second photo I punched out squares - and in the third photo glued them to the back of the marbles with Chrystal Laquer.
After they had dried - we glued magnets to the backs and wrote the numbers on top with a zig gold marker.
The next "room" project with be altering a light switch plate with the same stamp and coloring it with colored pencils in similar colors - we tried markers but they didn't look too good....
All for tonight
Take Care
Tera
