Instructions

Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 Bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
Using the RB-144 #4 Soft Fan apply 3 coats of SP-216 Speckled Cotton Tail to the front of the plate only. Allow for the shine to fade before transferring the pattern.
Transfer the pattern onto the plate using the AC-230 Clay Carbon Transfer paper. The greenery is for placement more than exact detail.
On a palette pour the size of a silver dollar of the following colors: SC-08 Just Froggy and SC-27 Sour Apple.
You will now paint the greenery with a fork. Dip the fork into SC-27 Sour Apple. Press and drag the color from inside of the wreath to the outside going all the way around the wreath.
Repeat the process with SC-8 Just Froggy to fill in the branches of the wreath and repeat the process. Overlap the SC-27 Sour Apple, but do not cover entirely.
Sgraffito in lines on the wreath with a bamboo skewer to mimic the needles. Periodically, cross over the lines for visual interest.
Bow: Use the RB-106 #6 Script Liner and apply 2-3 coats of SC-73 Candy Apple Red to the bow. Use SC-74 Hot Tamale to darken the shadow areas on the bow.
Use the RB-110 #10/0 Liner to outline the bow.
Using the eraser end of a pencil, dip the eraser into the following colors and dot the color on the wreath to mimic bulbs. SC-31 The Blues, SC-74 Hot Tamale, SC-97 Cant-elope.
Use RB-144 #4 Soft Fan brush to apply three coats of FN-035 Deep Red on the back and rim of the plate.
Stilt and fire to cone 05/06.
