Instructions  

(1) Working over Non-Stick Craft Sheet, paint canvas with Paint Dabber.

(2) When dry, add ribbon around edge of canvas.

(3) With Project Pan inserted in Melting Pot, melt BeesWax at highest setting. Place lid to allow for faster melting to occur.

(4) Apply a light coat of BeesWax to attach photos to canvas; followed by a second coating of BeesWax over the photo edges to create texture.

(5) Turn off Melting Pot and allow BeesWax to cool. Carefully remove Project Pan from Melting Pot and store; it is ready to use for the next time!

(6)
Turn Melting Pot back on with thermostat to UTEE setting. Add Clear and Black UTEE. Place on lid and allow to melt. Do not mix as this will create bubbles. Once melted, add about a half scoop of UTEE Flex and place lid back on so this can also melt. When melted, carefully “fold” the UTEE to mix.

(7) Pour melted UTEE onto the Craft Sheet. Press unmounted rubber stamp into UTEE. Remove when the UTEE has hardened, but is still warm and flexible.

(8) Trim UTEE as needed to determine placement on the canvas. Option: if you have two Melting Pots, keep the BeesWax in one of the Melting Pots and brush BeesWax over UTEE to create additional texture.

(9) Brush Perfect Pearls over UTEE/BeesWax.

(10) Apply Posh Luminous Metallics to the UTEE using your finger for highlights on the high areas of the stamped UTEE.

(11) Apply Sea Horse and Starfish stickers.
