My girl and i had some fun with paint pens yesterday. We are painting rocks for the Kindness Project again this year. These #Triton paint pens are great for Rock Painting - Ceramic, Wood, Metal and Glass. They come in a set of 12 vibrant colors and are easy to use. They have a .7 mm fine tips for details and are fast drying. The super fine tip is good for dotwork. They are waterbased and non-toxic.

So i had the idea to try applying vinyl decals, and then using the paint pens to color them in. i pained a base coat over the rock first, but i'm not sure if that's necessary. i cut out my vinyl decal using my Silhouette cameo 3 and weeded it so it was ready to transfer.
Then i used transfer tape to lift the decal off the carrier paper and transfer it to the rock. It stuck really well. i rubbed it good before removing the transfer tape.
Once the design is transferred to the rock, you can begin painting it.
The paint pens work great with the vinyl, and if you accidentally get a little paint on the vinyl it's easy to wipe off without effecting the design. We really loved working with these paint pens, the fine tip is really good for writing and for the details. i just need to find some smoother rocks. Once we have these finished we'll put a layer of Mod Podge Outdoors over them to seal them. We are looking forward to hiding a few rocks around town this summer.
