INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. Apply the inks directly to the frame overlapping colors slightly.

Step 2. Hold the squirt bottle 8″ to 10″ directly over the paper and spray slowly once or twice to make splatters on the frame.

Blot, do not wipe, away excess water with a paper towel.

Step 3. While the frame is damp, apply the Perfect Pearls with a brush. The Perfect Pearls will cling to the damp areas and set themselves.

Step 4. Stamp the heart image and emboss it. Color in the heart in with watercolor markers.

Step 5. Cut out the heart, adhere it to the pattern paper, and stamp the word love below it.

Step 6. Heat clear UTTE and add Flex UTEE and red dye. Pour mixture into sucker molds and cool.

Step 7. Tie ribbon around the UTEE sucker and frame. Attach UTEE sucker to the frame.
