If you are looking for a creative way to paint rocks, you might want to try rock stamping! Painting rocks with stamps is a great way to get perfect rocks if your drawing and painting skills aren't quite up to snuff.
These Rocks are painted with different color background with flowers. These are painted with acrylics, coated with a protective varnish, and measures approximately 3 x 2 inches.
Stamping can also provide a plain background that you can use to paint your rock with a Posca pen so you can fill it in coloring book style.
Procedure:
Tubby Craft Clear Stamps,
Tubby Craft Medium Acrylic Block
Clear spray sealer
Directions:
Stamped Rocks
Step 1: Match stamps and rocks
Select smooth stones that are an appropriate size for the stamps you'd like to use. For best results, choose rocks that have very little texture in the stamped area.
Peel your chosen stamp up from it's backing sheet and adhere to an acrylic block. Holding the clear block, pounce the stamp the ink pad until all the detail lines are well inked.
Step 3: Peel the stamp off
Being careful not to touch the inked area, carefully peel the stamp off the acrylic block and hold it with the sticky side resting on your fingers.
Step 4: Stamp the rock
Carefully line the inked side of your stamp up on your rock and press down firmly, contouring the stamp to the rock's curves as needed but without rocking. Gently lift up and admire your work.
Decorate your rocks! You can use small paint brushes or paint pens. Just let your creativity flow!
Step 5: Weatherproof your rocks
After letting the rocks dry overnight, spray them with a few layers clear varnish for extra protection.
Here are some more of the rocks I made using these stamps:

These rocks would make a perfect token for someone going through a hard time.
One can customize any "words" on these rocks using stamps and inks and these can be used as paper weights too.
