I made this coaster for a friend. I decided not to colour in the bird as the detail of the birds feathers was lost in the grain of the wooden coaster somewhat. I painted the coaster with silver Lumieries paint and then stamped the image using stazon black. I coloured the bauble with H2Os . The coaster is then coated using a 2 part medium of resin and hardener to a hard glass like finish.
I have listed the how to in the techniques forum Forums at Splitcoaststampers

This is a lovely image and preserving the detail by not coloring the bird is absolutely the right thing to do! Besides, it lets that ornament really *pop* that way! Beautiful project!
