Instructions

1.  Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove dust.

2. Thin FN-034 Big Sky BLue, pour to the inside, turn to coat, pour out the excess. 

3. Tape a line under the window trim all around the camper. Use the Script Liner and Soft Fan to apply three coats of SC-37 Ivory Tower above the tape. As you go, add SC-55 Yella Bout It to shade the edges of the camper.  On the third coat deepen the yellow around the edges with one coat of SC-51 Poo Bear, use the same brush so the colours blend.  Remove the tape.

4. Use the Script Liner and Soft Fan to apply SC-45 My BLue Heaven on the door and the lower section of the camper.  Use SC-11 Blue Yonder to shade around all the edges of the blue in a wide area.  Let dry.  Shade in a small edge with SC-31 The Blues.

8. Position the screen shiny side down on the piece. Holding in place - start in the center go out - rub the mixture on the screen with your finger. Lift a corner up to check if you are applying enough colour.  Screen on the palm trees, flowers and flamingo head from DSS-0147 Island.  Screening in the clear with food colouring is for colour placement.  Remove the screen and wash with water.  Do not let the colour dry in the screen.
