1. Paint the canvases with the Parisian Pink paint. Once dry, using the silkscreen squeegee; drag the simple screen cosmopolitan paint across the canvas. Don’t worry about the coverage. You want to create a deconstructed look.

2. Once the paints are dry, position one stencil in the center of the canvas. If needed use masking tape to secure the sides of the stencil.

3. Squeeze a long thick bead of black paint across the top of the stencil. Using your squeegee at a 45 degree angle and even pressure, pull a thin coat of paint down the stencil until the entire design is covered. Allow to dry.

4. Peel the stencil to reveal your design. Wash the stencil with cold water. Don’t scrub the sticky side. Once the stencil is dry, replace onto the backing sheet.

5. Hot glue ribbon around the outer edge of the canvas.
