Here's How

1. Spread a thin layer of drywall compound onto the canvas with a putty knife, leaving ridges for added texture, especially near edges. Let dry. Spray Krylon® Earth to the entire surface. Let dry.

2. Spray adhesive on the back of Queen Anne's lace stencil and place in position on the canvas. Spread drywall compound on the stencil with a putty knife to achieve dimension. Gently lift the stencil off the canvas. Let dry. Reposition the stencil and repeat the process. Note: stencil can be cut for smaller areas.

3. Lightly spray the entire canvas, including the stencilled area, with Krylon Earth.

4. Lightly sand selected areas of the stencil to expose the drywall compound underneath.

5. Spray adhesive on the back of the Friendship stencil and place in position on the canvas. Protect other areas from over spray with scrap paper and masking tape.

6. Spray Friendship stencil area with Krylon Sand. Let dry. Reposition the stencil and mask to spray paint more areas, as desired.
