Tracing and Transferring a Pattern:

2. Lay a sheet of tracing paper on top of the printed pattern. NOTE: you may secure the sheet of tracing paper to your surface with a piece of tape.
3. Using a soft lead pencil, or a fine point permanent ink black marker, trace over the main pattern lines. DO NOT worry about tracing over detail lines as they will not be transferred.

Painting Instructions:
1. Daisies – Paint thin, long daisy petals Wicker White. Dab Lemon Custard in the center of each daisy flower. Shade the lower left edge of the center with AP Burnt Sienna. Paint tiny dots of AP Burnt Sienna around the daisy center and accent the upper right center with tiny dots of Wicker White.
2. Daisy Leaves – Paint three AP Hauser Green Medium leaves around each daisy. Accent each leaf with highlights of Fresh Foliage. Paint a center Fresh Foliage vein in the leaf.
3. Base of Tote – Paint Calypso Sky vertical stripes on the Cayman Blue base. Accent the top of the base with Calypso Sky polka dots.
4. Top Band of Tote – Paint Calypso Sky polka dots randomly on the top Cayman Blue band.
5. Handle – Paint polka dots and stripes on the handle as desired or refer to photo for color placement.
6. Feet – Paint Hot Pink polka dots randomly on the Wicker White wood balls.

Finishing Touches –
