I then painted their shoes ... some Red and the other Black ....

When everything is dry I love to trace everything with this Pen ....

Then I use my liner brush and paint thier beard with White paint.

I took my pen again and I added some lines here and there on his beard..... It just gives it a little demention !

Then I took my stylus and added some dots on thier hats and a couple on thier shoes!
You can use a tooth pick for the small dots, also the back of a paint brush...
here's the link to the stylus if you decide you want some ...

I then added a larger dot for the nose .. I used a cream color paint, mine was called Buttermilk.
Any ivory color will work...

Once every was dry I went ahead and brushed a little sealer just on the beard area and sprinkled some glitter....
Here's the sealer I love to use!

Then I go ahead and put a coat or two of the sealer on the rest of the stone .... I do it on the front and back of the stone!
That's it there you have it these are super cute and fun to create !
