Wood Burning Instructions:

I always do my wood burning line work before I start to base paint my project.  If paint gets in any of the burned areas don't worry, I always go back over the lines with my wood burning tool to remove any unwanted paint after I'm done painting .

1.   TOMATO SPICE:  Face, Wings and Hands
2.   CHARCOAL:  Arms
3.   BUNGALOW BLUE:  Top of flower
4.   IVORY:  Peddles of flowers
5.   MEDIUM FOLIAGE:  Leaves

Details:
6.   CHARCOAL:  Put Ladybug spots on face, wings and hands, Paint eyes, nose, mouth and put freckles on cheeks.
7.   LIGHT FOLIAGE:  Spatter leaves with old toothbrush.
8.   IVORY:  Put dots on flowers with your styles, paint eyes.
9.   NAVY BLUE:  Put dots on flowers with your styles.
10. BLACK TECHNICAL PEN:  Put the saying "Ladybug Hugs" on the flower.
11. SANDING:  Sand along the edges of the painted areas on all wood pieces.
12. ANTIQUE MAPLE STAIN GEL:  Stain along the edges you just sanded

Assembly:
13. GLUE:  Wings and arms to the Ladybug with Wood glue, Hot Glue Bow.
14. ATTACH:  Blue wire from hanger, Raffia bow and Black Pipe Cleaner.

I do hope you enjoy making "Ladybug Hugs". She is a cute addition to your summer decorations.
Happy Painting,
Tammie
