Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply 3 coats to the front and sides of the canvas. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  3. Squeeze 1 TBS of SC-97 Cant-elope, SC-23 Jack O’ Lantern, and SC-6 Sunkissed onto the palette. Take the ST-103 Retro Star Stamp and place it design-side up. Take the sponge on a stick and gently dab it into the glazes. Use the 3 colors to cover the stamp. Gently press the stamp onto the front of the canvas. Repeat until the front is covered.
  4. Place the AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper over the front of the canvas. Print or freehand a fun pattern. Place the pattern over the paper and trace with the pencil.
  5. Using the Script Liner with CG-756 Firecracker, apply 1 puddle coat to the body of the bird and the center of the lower-left flower.
  6. Using the Script Liner with CG-753 Sassy Orange, apply 1 puddle coat to the wing of the bird and the center of the upper right flower.
  7. Using the Script Liner with CG-968 Peppermint Twist, apply 1 puddle coat to the 3 small circle flowers.
  8. Using the Script liner with CG-954 Wildfire, apply 1 puddle coat to the remaining upper flower.
  9. Using the Script Liner with S-2723 Grape Divine, apply 1 puddle coat to the remaining lower flower.
  10. Using the Script Liner with SC-26 Green Thumb, apply 1 coat to the stems and leaves.
  11. Using the Script Liner with SC-6 Sunkissed and SC-74 Hot Tamale, apply 2 coats to the outer parts of the corresponding flowers.
