Instructions
- Remove dust with a damp sponge on 04 bisque.
- Starting at the top of the tree, brush with SC-93 Honeydew List, about half way add SC-27 Sour Apple to the brush to tint the Honeydew List, add more SC-27 Sour Apple for the bottom of the tree, (always keep Honeydew List in the brush) use CB-604 Soft Fan. Brush on two coats.
- At the top of the tree, use the 1/4" punch paper dots, wet the space for the paper dots, then stick on the paper, continue this process for all the dots. Use the 3/4" dots for the middle of the tree, and the 1" dots for the bottom section.
- Starting at the top of the tree brush with SC-27 Sour Apple with some SC-93 Honeydew List to lighten, in the middle of the tree just use SC-27 Sour Apple, add SC-52 Toadily Green to the brush to deepen the Sour Apple. Just two coats, water should be added to the brush to brush on smooth coats, use CB-604 Soft Fan.
- Let dry, before taking off the paper dots, stamp with the ST-129 Mini Fern. At the top and middle of the tree, stamp with SC-26 Green Thumb, towards the bottom stamp with SC-8 Just Froggy. Use a sponge on a stick or a 2" foam roller to apply the color to the stamp. Remove the paper dots.

- Shade around all the curls with SC-34 Down to Earth mixed with SC-52 Toadily Green, shade further with SC-8 Just Froggy mixed with a little SC-15 Tuxedo to deepen the shading in the tight section of the curls, and under the arms. Use CB-106 Script Liner.
