When i saw this tutorial i knew i wanted to make my escort cards into these rocks/pebbles. we had to wait until most of our rsvps were in before i got started on this. i shaped the rocks with my hands then used letter stamps to create the names. i went with first name and last initial. i also stamped their menu choice onto the rock. it took a couple days to dry. i then applied gel medium/varnish. the tutorial tells you to use a sponge brush for varnish but that created a lot of bubbles. so i used a brush. some of the bristles came off so you have to be careful. i also did this thing where i squirted gel medium onto the rock and then went around and spread it with the brush. this remoistened the clay and created weird indentations. then it tells you to use a pen. the pen really doesnt work as decribed. and also if you dont wait until the varnish is completely try it could clog your pen. i found making the letters black pretty difficult. and also coloring in the menu choices. it then tells you to put another coat of varnish on, but when i did this, the ink from the pens ran. so i ended up skipping that step altogether.
