Mod Podge

(Please Note: Although I Do Have Scriptures Printed and Clear Sticky Tape Among My Supplies, I Chose to Not Do That Part of the Project, Due to Time Constraints)

Step 1: Painting Pebbles - Sunflower

For This One, I Chose the Sunflower

Paint the Centre First, with Brown Paint

Then Paint the Sunflower Petals with Yellow Paint, Taking Care to Retain Shape of Each Petal.

Once the Brown Centre is Dry, Fill in Orange and Yellow Dots, for the Seeds

(You Can At This Stage Also Add Orange Highlights to the Sunflower Petals, If You Desire)

Step 2: Painting a Ladybug

Paint the Head, Spots and Outline the Wings with Black Paint

Allow to Dry

Paint the Blank Spaces for the Wings, With Red Paint

Paint Tiny White Dots, with Yellow, For the Eyes

Step 3: Cheetah Linework Stone

For This, I Followed the Natural Eroded Area of the Rock/Stone, as a Base for the Outline. The Natural Colour of the Stone Serves as the Cheetah's Natural Camouflage

Draw An Outline on Your Chosen Rock

Paint Over the Outlines with Black or Dark Grey Paint, Using a Fine Paintbrush.

Add in the Cheetah Tears and Spots

Allow to Dry

Seal With Mod Podge and Allow to Dry Once More.

Step 4: Leopard Rock

This Works on the Same Principle as the Cheetah Linework Stone

Draw the Outline of the Leopard on the Rock, with a Pencil

Paint Over the Outline; with Dark Grey or Black Paint, Filling in the Finer Details

as You Work - Ears, Spots, Whiskers

Add Highlights Using White Paint

Colour the Leopard's Eyes, With Gold Paint, and the Pupil with Black Paint

Allow to Dry

Seal With Mod Podge

Allow to Dry Once More
