Step 1: Cut Illustration Board and Paint
Cut a piece of thick illustration board to fit the panel above the mantle.
Roll on a solid coat of OC-100 Palace White. Let dry.
Step 2: Trace Over the Crewel Pattern
Place transfer paper face down on the board and trace over the crewel pattern with a pencil . Remove paper to reveal the pattern.
Step 3: Draw Over Pattern with Dimensional Paint
Using cake-frosting tips, squeeze three-dimensional stencil paste onto the board and trace over vines, leaves and flowers to resemble a traditional crewelwork pattern. Allow to dry thoroughly.
Delta Texture Magic colors: Bungalow Blue, French Blue, Eucalyptus, Spring Green and Country Red
Step 4: Attach the Illustration Board Above the Mantle
Using small tack nails, attach the illustration board to the space above the mantle.
