6. Chains Use a ruler and white pencil to draw straight lines to the tops of the baubles – use
stylus with fresh white to add dot chains.
7. Roses - there are two types of roses to choose from the ‘stir’ roses are created by using a
stylus and placing a hefty dot of : Alizarin, True Red and baby pink in a triangle shape. Stir
these colours whilst wet! Do not over stir as you will just end up with a muddy colour. When
you have added all the desired stir roses, add dots in clusters around them using some of
the same colours. See example on black card sheet.
8. Stroke Roses – Load a no 4 flat on one edge only (side load) with T White, blend slightly
on the palette. Using the brush on its chisel edge and keeping white away from you, stroke
the ‘n’ shape, then the ‘u’ shape to form the rose centre. Use the chisel edge of the brush to
create the side petals using a little pressure. See the example on black card.
9. Shine - Add a couple of strong comma strokes either side of the bauble for strong shine.
10. Ribbon – Use a liner brush or small round if preferred, paint thin ribbons.
11. Snowflakes – see above instructions to stamp snowflake shapes around the bauble. Add
bigger snowball dots with large end of a stylus if desired.
