Summer Vibes Tote & Sandals

Paint the wedge of the sandals with Aqua. This will take two coats; let the first coat dry before adding the second coat. Repeat for the ankle straps. Paint the remainder with Fuchsia. When dry, transfer the design with graphite paper. (The design will transfer easily on a painted surface.)

NOTE: The left and right designs for the shoes.

Flower: Paint the petals with White. With the same brush, pick up a tiny bit of Aqua on the corner and shade along the base of the petals. Paint the center with an undercoat of White. Then paint with Yellow. With the same brush, pick up a tiny bit of Fuchsia on the corner and shade along the bottom. Line the highlight with White. Paint the bow with the #2 round brush loaded with Aqua, tipped in White. Line the bow with Black. Line the stem with Black.

Vine and Leaves: Use the #2 round brush loaded with Green and tipped into Yellow to paint in the leaves. Line the vines with Black. Dot with tiny clusters of Aqua.

Cut out all the pattern pieces and place on the tote for placement idea. Transfer the pattern onto the purse with graphite paper.

NOTE: This may not always work depending on the purse surface. In this case, I cut out the shapes and traced around them with removable pen.

Paint the stripes on the rind with a brush mix of Green and Yellow.
