How To
Use a 5×7 Chubby Block, and paint the edges with Nominee Chalk Paste being careful not to get the paste on the front of the block.
Place transfer on block and remove any air bubbles by smoothing the transfer using your hands.
Chalk just the flower/vase using Dune Chalk Paste and then remove the transfer. Let dry.
Using a small brush, watercolor the flowers using 2-3 shades of desired colors of chalk paste (Peachy Keen, Ballet Slipper, and Slate Rose). Tip: the more water added to the paste the lighter the color. Use the darkest shade (Slate Rose) inside the flower, the base of the flower, and along the back edge of the flower to give dimension.
Use the same technique as in #4 using Sage and Pesto Chalk Paste on the leaves and stems.
With the brush, watercolor the left side of the vase using Ocean Mist for dimension.
After washing/drying the transfer, place it back on the block matching up the design
Now the last step and this is where the magic happens! Chalk the flowers and the vase using Nominee Chalk Paste and Black Velvet for the word “Bloom” and the line at the bottom. Remove the transfer and ENJOY!
