Steps:

  1. Please take a moment to review the instructions on all product packaging before beginning any project.
     
  2. On the palette mix separate puddles of the following colors with Faux Finish Glaze Base according to package instructions; Wedgewood Blue and Antique White.
     
  3. Using the dampened sponge, sponge the entire outside of the box using the colors above. Let box dry and rinse out sponge.
     
  4. Mask off a rectangle on the front of the box using the 1” tape. Burnish the edges and paint the area with two smooth even coats of Antique White. Let dry.
     
  5. Pour a small puddle of each paint color out on the palette. Using a sponge double-loaded with two colors, refer to photo, pounce paint onto the stamp. Working quickly stamp the image onto the box. You may wish to practice this technique on a piece of paper before moving to your project.
     
  6. When done stamping carefully remove the tape.
     
  7. Using the 1/4” and low tack tapes mask off a border around the stamped area. Paint the border, top and bottom rims, handle, inside of box and lid with Wedgewood Blue. Let dry.
     
  8. Finish with 2 to 3 coats of varnish. Enjoy!
