this is so funny! the gravestone is impressive... how do you find painting on fabric? i guess you've done it quite a lot so must be used to it by now. you joined an etsy street team? what all went on when you got together? besides fighting and grumping about? that's too bad it didn't turn out so well.
i love the spooky christmas set you listed in your shop recently. you must love tim burton and "the nightmare before christmas"? oh, i was going to ask you about xyron machines. do you have your own or do you get someone else to make the stickers for you? i'm guessing you have your own as they don't seem to be that expensive, but can i ask what model you have? i may get one.
as for the gravestone, its stitched with a machine, and basically drybrushed in the ditch with paint. So its not difficult at all. its more like "smudging" than painting...
And I have a Xyron 250 model, I got it at a Michaels. There is permanent and repositional cartridges available for it. You can only make a stickers 2.5 inches wide. I wouldn't use this baby for large volume stickers, like promos or anything, but smaller batches is great. I use glossy photo paper for the stickers and it resembles a vinyl sticker, but of course isn't as durable. I haven't tried the repositional adhesive yet, but I have a cartridge, I could let you know when I try it out. You have to use the whole thing before switching I think.
