Supplies to make glitter word art painted rocks

Instructions

Cover your work surface.
Wash your rock and allow it to dry before painting.
Apply pink paint to 1/2 of the rock. While it's still wet, apply orange paint to the other side of the rock and blend into the pink to create an ombre color blend. Allow to dry.
Using the marker, write the word you'd like to create. I chose Inspire.
Rinse your paintbrush and dab it dry on the paper towel.
Apply a coat of Glitterific around the word art. Be careful not to smear the ink… you might let it dry a little before applying any glitter on top of the word art.
Allow everything to dry and if you'd like, finish with a weatherproof sealer.

You can get as fancy as you'd like or keep things simple and let your word be the focus.

Tip: Sharpie markers are great for drawing on rocks. If you don't want to paint your rock, apply a clear coat before drawing to give the rock surface something easier to draw on. I like to use the fine tip markers, but the thicker pen tip will work great too.
