INSTRUCTIONS:

> Dampen the round sponge and wipe down your piece.
> Pour Polar Bear directly onto your platter. Using the damp sponge spread the
paint to cover the entire surface. Paint should be thick enough that it takes a minuet
  to dry.
> Pour an equal amount of Polar Bear and Sweet Pea onto the back of the pallet. Mix
   the two together and apply the paint to the platter in a dabbing motion. Depending
   on the size of the piece you might have to repeat the mixing of colors a few times to
   complete the second coat.. Your sponge should be full of paint. Again this coat
   should take a minuet to dry.
>Pour a quarter sized dollop of Polar Bear directly onto the sponge. This time only
dabbing the center of the piece where the bride and groom will be placed.
> Pour Sweet Pea directly onto your sponge and dab the paint around the rim. This
will create a lighter center with a darker rim.
> While platter is drying place the tracing paper on top of the trace and
transfer image. Use the pencil trace the image. Cut the image to a manageable
size and center on the piece. You can tape the paper on top the piece or enlist
a helping set of hands to hold it in place while using the sharpie trace the
penciled image onto the piece.
> Remove tracing paper. Refer to the image for color placement. Make sure to paint
   three solid coats of paint when painting the bride and groom.
> Mix a tiny bit of the Fire Cracker with the same amount Polar Bear for rosy the
   cheeks. It should be a light pink.. If you make a mistake let the paint dry and
