Project Instructions
Base coat letters with Wedding Cake. Allow to dry.
Tape off 5½" from the top of each letter. Transfer the leaf pattern (download button below) to the top half of each letter, repeating the pattern as needed. Using a #1 round brush and a #6 flat brush, paint leaves as follows: one M with Hailstorm, O with Marmalade and the second M with Granny Smith. Allow to dry. Remove tape and fill in the bottom portion of the letters using the same colors as the leaves.
Transfer the flower pattern to the M with Hailstorm leaves. Paint the flower in Marmalade. Allow to dry and then add a large Granny Smith center. When dry, add the Limeade glitter paint. Once the glitter paint dries, add a Wedding Cake circle and then add four small Hailstorm dots by using the end of the paintbrush. Add Wedding Cake dots to the flower.
