Instructions

1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
2. Cut out the pattern. Trace around the pattern onto the tile.
3. Use the Script Liner to apply two coats of SC-26 Green Thumb to the leaves. Add SC-6 Sunkissed to highlight.
4. Use the Script Liner to apply two coats of SC-6 Sunkissed to the petals. Add SC-97 Cant-elope to the brush to darken some of the petals. Shade the petals near the center with SC-81 Cinnamon Stix.
5. Use the Script Liner to dab the center of the flower with two coats of SC-26 Green Thumb, SC-81 Cinnamon Stix and SC-34 Down to Earth.
6. Use the Soft Fan to brush water over the painted sunflower. Place the paper pattern onto the tile and press to adhere to the tile. Gently press with a paper towel to remove excess water and ensure the edges are sealed. 
7. Use the Soft Fan to apply two coats of EL-118 Blue Grotto to the background of the tile. When dry, apply two coats of SC-97 Cant-elope around the flower head. Apply two coats of SC-42 Butter Me Up to the remainder of the tile, blending the colors together.
8. Remove the paper.
9. Fire to cone 06.
