SUPPLIES

- scissors
- paintbrush

- extra fine permanent ink marker
- wooden frame
- assorted scrapbook paper

INSTRUCTIONS
- Remove the frame backing. Place on scrapbook paper (light blue) and trace. Brush Americana Matte Decou-Page onto the back side of the paper and the inner portion of the frame. Place scrapbook paper facing out, press down, and smooth out.
- Cut out flowers from the floral scrapbook paper. (The number of flowers will vary according to the size of the flowers and the size of the frame)
- Cut out a butterfly from the scrapbook paper. (If the floral scrapbook paper chosen does not have one, print off an image found online.)
- Cut out the patterns and trace onto scrapbook paper (refer to photo for color/pattern): hair, hat, head, eyes, cheeks, and mouth.
- Set the pattern pieces into place and once you like the placement, brush Decou-Page onto the back side of the pieces, place, press down, and smooth out in this order: hair, head, hat, and face (eyes, cheeks, and mouth).
- Double-load the paintbrush with both Snow White and Melon and paint the outer frame.
- Tear scrapbook paper into strips, making sure the strips are slightly wider than the frame. Place on the frame horizontally and cut to size. Brush Decou-Page onto the frame and begin placing strips in place. Once placed, brush Decou-Page on top to seal.
- Print out the words "Spring is in the air" on paper color of your choice. (White or pastel work best.) Cut out.
- Set the words into place and brush Decou-Page onto the back side of the paper and on the frame. Press down and smooth out.
- Using a fine point black permanent marker, add details. (Refer to photo.)
