Mix the Glass beads and your yellow paint together. When mixed well take the painting knife to apply on top of the stencil. Give it a good amount to the sunflower.

Mix the Glass beads and the Green gold paint together.  Apply to the board. On the leaves use more mixture. By putting more mixture on the leaves, it will pop them out more

Enjoy and have fun with the Glass beads. It looks real great on Journals, Notebooks, bookmarks, paintings and on wood boxes.
