PAINTING TIPS
n Do not be alarmed with cracks in this wood as they are natural in a 4" x 4" pine block. If there are cracks in the wood blocks, they will be filled in and covered with paper and texture medium. Do not glue the puzzle together as it is much easier to work on in separate pieces.
n Découpage is fun and easy! Follow instructions on the DecoArt Decou-Page Matte bottle, but it is okay to have a little water in the brush as it helps to smooth things down. Work from the cen- ter of the paper pushing air bubbles toward the edge.
n Whenchoosingyourscrap- book paper remember to use some of the same colors that are found in the posy for a nice balance.
