Affirmation Stones

Over on the FB Mini Marvels page Angie has started off a bit of a craze by creating some affirmation stones from a tutorial by Mark Montano of DecoArt which you can see here. So I got the bug and here is my take on them, the hardest part was finding some stones!!!

The background colour is quinacridone red, I used it because I wanted to use red, but this one is translucent so you can still see the oriental text underneath. I stamped the Chinese dragon in black stazon and outlined with a thin black out liner pen and centered it over the stone as best I could. I used translucent white and carbon black to decorate it.

Exactly the same process for this one, stamped the skull and positioned it over the stone. I watered down some paynes grey, again as I wanted the text to show through, translucent white on the skull and the dots. Outlined the skull and parts of it in black carbon.

And finally the last one I coloured with quinacridone violet. I free drew a heart in the white, only because I had some left from the above, added dots in black and white and then introduced the cerulean blue. Outlined the white heart in black.
