  3. Using a blending Brush, blend Pool Party onto the portion that makes up the sky until you have the desired color.

  5. Color the white space between the rows of flowers with a sponge dauber and Crumb Cake.
  6. Stamp the windmill onto the 2” x 2” piece of Basic White Cardstock in Crumb Cake, then using a sponge dauber lightly blend on Crumb Cake. I softened this up by running over it with a Water Painter.
