Step 3: Tape the stencil to the white die cut frame with removable tape
Step 4:  Use a 1/2" stencil brush to rouge a coat of yellow ink over the whole design, use 1/4" brushes to add more colors, remove and clean the stencil
Step 5:  Place the clean, dry stencil back over the colored image and use a palette knife and paste spreader to apply Translucent Embossing Paste over the stencil, remove the stencil and place in water for cleaning, let the paste dry very thoroughly, it will dry with a clear, glossy finish
