Matt - I am using 1/8" thin pink foam that is used under metal siding. Then I am hand carving it with a pencil and a carving tool. I draw the pencil lines to outline each stone, then I shape all four sides of each stone. Then I distress each stone with a blunt object and a scriber. Next is a base coat of paint followed by a shading coat that is partially wiped off and then I hand paint random individual stones. It is rather time consuming, but after having started I don't want to change.
