Steps:

1. Using the 3/4” brush apply one smooth even coat of Metal Primer to the entire outside of the tin. Let dry.
    
2. Using the 3/4” brush apply 2 smooth even coats of Green Tea to the entire outside of the tin. Let dry.
    
3. Measure and find the center point on each side of the tin. Lightly mark with pencil.
    
4. Position the large daisy in the center of the back panel and tape in place.
    
5. Pour puddles of Blue Bayou and White out on your palette. Using the small end of a sponge dip one side into the blue and the other in white. Tap on the palette to slightly blend the colors and remove any excess paint.
    
6. Start at the outside edge of the stencil and work towards the center. Pounce the sponge up and down over the open areas of the stencil keeping the blue towards the outside. Remove stencil and repeat on each side of the tin.
    
7. In-between the blue daisies stencil smaller white daisies using the same technique as above.
    
8. Mask off the petals around the center of the largest daisy and stencil dots of Tomato Spice between the daisies, refer to photo.
    
9. Using the 10/0 liner and thinned Black loosely outline each petal and add a swirl or dashes to embellish the center of each flower. If you are not comfortable using a liner brush use the permanent marker.
    
10. Using the 1/2” brush paint the turned edge with Tomato Spice. Let Dry.
     
11. Finish with 2 to 3 coats of varnish. Enjoy!
