Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of FN-014 Antique White to the front and sides of the canvas. Allow to dry.
- Using the AC-213 Sponge on a Stick load the sponge with SC-46 Rawhide. Tap the SC-46 Rawhide onto the ST-368 Ornate Boarder Stamp then press the stamp gently onto the entire front and sides of the Canvas. Allow to dry. This video shows how to use the stamps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f4iGfwwndo
- Select a font you like to print out First Comes, Then Comes and the dates. Print out on your computer.
- With a pencil and AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper, trace this onto the dry canvas. Glaze this with SC-15 Tuxedo later so it is not smeared applying the center design.
- First Comes (Love) - take a piece of 8x10 copy paper, fold in half and cut out the size of the heart you want for the front of the project. This will be a stencil. Position the open heart on the canvas.
- Now apply SC-74 Hot Tamale on the same ST-368 Ornate Boarder Stamp and press in a random pattern over the opening of the cut out heart. Make sure and overlap the paper so the design goes to the edge and there is a good heart print.
- Note: You can change this from a heart to an engagement ring and place the engagement date on the bottom of the canvas.
- Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, apply 1 coat of SC-15 Tuxedo to paint the words.
- Then Comes (Marriage) – With a pencil and AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper, trace on the cake.
- Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 2 coats of SC-46 Rawhide to the body of the cake.
- Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 2 coats of SG-501 Sculpting Medium to the frosting area of the cake and wispy areas under the cake like lace.
- Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, apply 1 coat of SC-74 Hot Tamale to the flowers (adjust to other colors to match the brides color scheme).
- Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, create the leaves on the flowers and the wispy vines on the top layer.
- Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, apply 1 coat of SC-15 Tuxedo to outline and detail the cake and to paint the words.
- Then Come (Baby) -
- With a pencil and AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper, trace on the baby carriage.
- Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 3 coats of SC-1 Pink-A-Boo to the body of the carriage.
- Using a CB-110 # 10/0 Liner, apply the heart to the body of the carriage.
- Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner and SC-15 Tuxedo outline the carriage, add the baby name and the words and date to the canvas.
- Do not apply clear glaze, it will fire glossy due to the Foundation glaze.
- Lay this flat on a clean kiln shelf to fire. If stilted but a bar stilt on all four corners or evenly support the center with a large stilt or three smaller stilts to keep the canvas from warping.
- Fire to shelf cone 06/05.
