Prepare Surface

I took a empty glass Jar, cleaned it’s surface properly and applied a coat of gesso.
A layer of gesso makes the surface ready for painting.

Paint the background

Once dried, I painted its surface with white chalk paint ( you can use acrylics too) using sponge and let it air dry.

After applying chalk paint

Add Texture

Then I added the texture with Crafty Scrappers “Shimmer Paste” ( color – Dreams) using “Rose Bunch” stencil. You have to be very patient while doing this step…

I applied the Shimmer paste one side at a time and before applying it to another side ,

I let it air dry ( You can use heat gun to fasten this process :))
