Instructions

1. Apply a light coat of Mod Podge Matte to felt square. Let dry completely.
2. Using a pencil, trace the shapes of the Single Rose Stencil onto the matte side of a section of freezer paper.
3. Center the Single Rose stencil on the 8" x 8" stretched canvas and repeat by lightly tracing the stencil sections.
4. Position freezer paper shiny side down onto the non-Mod Podged side of the felt square. Iron freezer paper to felt square, then cut each stencil section out using either sharp scissors or a craft knife. Remove freezer paper.
5. Pour a small amount of Light Moss onto a foam plate and paint each cutout section with Light Moss using a Shortie Brush on the non-Mod Podged side of the felt. Allow to dry.
6. Using white craft glue, attach each painted moss section onto the canvas following the previously penciled outline.
7. Add Dark Moss to the foam plate, load a Shortie brush then apply the Dark Moss paint to each cutout rose section creating the illusion of real moss.
8. Paint Dark Moss on the outer frame as well as interior sides of the shadow box, dabbing a generous amount creating a thick mossy effect. Let dry.
9. Apply Light Moss over the Dark Moss creating highlights. Fade the color in areas. Let dry.
10. To complete the project, glue canvas to the shadow box.

TIPS:

• When cutting the combined felt and freezer paper sections using a craft knife, it might be helpful to cut up and down against a piece of thick craft foam.
• Using Mod Podge to prep the felt square will allow you to cut evenly each stencil section without the felt shredding or fraying.
