[@whatthefairuse]

I do these all the time... Seal the base color with either a spray or resin!

[@rkdavis70]

Very interesting video! You don't get flustered like I do 😅 The flower and Santorini one came out so nice. Would it be possible to leave the stencil on and do it with black vinyl and paint the spaces? Just a thought. The beauty of painting is the ability of painting over mistakes! Love your nails as usual ❤

[@JessicaRocks]

Well I went into it knowing it may not work! lol When they first came off the Cricut I was like oh these lines are so thin, I dunno...The vinyl is super shiny, so I'm not sure how easily paint would adhere to them, but that's a good thought. I think if anything, I will use this for the santorinis, because that was a super satisfying and relazing process!

[@kaymad143]

Thank you for showing the Cricut machine, I am not sure if I will get one. I appreciate you letting us know what works and what doesn't work. The Santorini stone looked beautiful!

[@JessicaRocks]

It was a Christmas gift, and not necessarily intended for rock stuff, but my brain just automatically short circuits there! lol I did use it to make some labels for food seasoning bottles that worked really great!

[@kaymad143]

That was a nice gift! I may try it sometime@@JessicaRocks

[@nancycharlton1803]

Just a thought...if you sprayed your black rocks with a sealer first do you think the vinyl would peel off better and not pull the paint?

[@JessicaRocks]

That would definitely make it peel off easier...but then the watercolors wouldn't adhere! lol That would work if you did matte craft paints I'm thinking though! Good idea! I was just so hell bent on using the watercolors!

[@terrisyoutube1726]

I don't have a cricket and everyone I know complains about them lol.

[@JessicaRocks]

Well, that solves that! Lol I haven't tried making any cards yet (which I'm kinda excited to try! Lol). I did make some labels for some dry spice containers successfully!

[@pineapplesyumyum]

So firstly pinch the design on the rounded stones in the same spot to make them more uniform

[@JessicaRocks]

Thank you!!

[@Pocketpebbledesigns]

Wonder if you could’ve just left the stencil on there as your outline and sealed it with resin? Still came out nice. 😊

[@JessicaRocks]

That absolutely could be an option. I'm just true to the local rock painting group I was "raised in" and we don't allow any stickers, tattoos, glue ons. Even under resin because we know not everyone has the ability to make sure it's 150% secure.

[@Pocketpebbledesigns]

@@JessicaRocks oh yeah! Gotcha! 😉

[@ntyler71]

You can cut actual stencil designs with your Cricut and blank stencils.

[@TheMotocross64]

Where do you get them paints on cards?

[@JessicaRocks]

They are Iuile Watercolors. They have their own website and are also available on Etsy!
