A decorative surface covering has a transparent or translucent layer containing a plately material that is reoriented at two or more different angles with respect to the surface of the layer to provide a three-dimensional effect to the decorative surface covering. The covering can be chemically embossed to further enhance the three-dimensional effect. Portions of the layer containing the platey material can be masked to produce an inlaid or inset effect.

A decorative surface covering comprising: (a) a substrate including a foamable resinous layer containing a foaming or blowing agent; (b) a transparent or translucent first layer overlying the substrate; (c) platey material distributed throughout the first layer, the platey material being substantially reoriented at two or more different angles with respect to the surface of the layer, whereby the platey material reflects or diffracts light at various angles as the light passes within the transparent or translucent layer to provide an enhanced three-dimensional effect to the decorative surface covering; and (d) a printing design overlying at least a portion of the first layer, wherein at least a portion of the printing design is comprised of a printing ink composition containing a foaming or blowing agent modifier in an amount sufficient to permeate through the first layer and into the foamable resinous layer to modify foaming in the foamable resinous layer of the substrate, and wherein the foaming or blowing agent modifier is selected from the group consisting of benzotriazole, tolytriazole, aminotriazole, trimellitic anhydride, and fumaric acid.
