You can very likely find a large stencil or diy one with a design you like by copying a picture of a stone driveway. Use the template to draw out the stone design on your driveway and paint in the colors of stone and grout you'd like. Use paint made especially for exterior concrete. It may be a time-consuming task but should look great and be relatively inexpensive. There also plastic/rubber like molds for doing real concrete slabs that look like stone available at the big box stores. You might purchase one and use it as a pattern that can be repeated over your entire driveway using paint rather than concrete.
You could look at Concrete Paint or talk to paint manufacturers for advice!
