I lightly sanded the box cover and the coasters with 220 grit sandpaper. Using black perfect paint I painted on two coats and let them dry. This paint covers so well I probably could have gotten away with one coat of paint.
For the butterflies and mixed red colorant into generation green smooth texture.
Using a stencil I place three butterflies on the box than one butterfly on each coaster.
When the textured butterflies were dry I mixed shimmer translucent glaze and a tiny drop of sage colorant added a couple of drops of extender into that I place this on to the stamp pad and used it to stamp the images on the box and coasters.
I use a bronze translucent shimmer for the dots on all the pieces.
When I thought the project was done I realized that the butterflies were much too bright so I decided to antique them by using black colorants with gel glaze.
When everything was completely dry I put on two coats of polyurethane varnish matte finish over both the box and the coasters this will allow for easy cleanup.
Earth safe finishes did it again.
